Hi people at RISC-V SIG!
Can anyone update the RISC-V wiki [1] by adding the RISC-V Package Sources page link[2] and News with the latest status? I tried to update it by myself, but it seemed that the page [1]'s Building link to the page [3] was outdated.
[1] Architectures/RISC-V - Fedora Project Wiki
[2] http://fedora.riscv.rocks:3000/
[3] Architectures/RISC-V/Building - Fedora Project Wiki
The above wiki page[1] gave someone the impression that the Fedora Linux 41 RISC-V was not available on this Reddit thread.
I did put the download on the top of the other one right?
I also had to login several times till it worked. If you need more to edit just try it again.
Which link is this?
Thanks for adding the link to the wiki page! I moved the link you added to a new section. Because I don’t think the RISC-V Package Sources belongs to “Downloads” section.
I also had to login several times till it worked. If you need more to edit just try it again.
I was able to login to the wiki site after I saw one error. However, my point is I didn’t know how to edit the content.
Which link is this?
It is the above reference [1], https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/RISC-V#News.
But now everything is fine?
Yup. That’s fine.
Someone was not sure whether Fedora Linux 41 supports RISC-V on the above linked Reddit thread, reading the following part in the News section. So, I hope someone will update the News section nicely or remove the section to avoid such misunderstanding.
May 2024 PLCT have releases a new repo for Fedora RV64 OCI image, currently F39 and F40 is avaliable. https://hub.docker.com/r/fedorariscv/base
I updated the wiki page adding a note to know the latest status of RISC-V by this change. So, now I think everything is fine.
I haven’t generated “distribution repositories” for F41 + riscv64 yet, but some folks are running F41 already on their QEMU/VF2/etc. by directly pulling packages from Koji working repositories. I will look into COMPS in coming days, and I see if I can generate initial distribution repo.
@davidlt Okay. Thanks! On the above Reddit link, I introduced a link about DeepComputing’s Framework Laptop compatible RISC-V mainboard to support Fedora 41. The link is below. I was assuming that you guys at RISC-V SIG were working on it.
https://deepcomputing.io/product/dc-roma-risc-v-mainboard/
Powered by the RISC-V 64-bit Quad-core CPU JH7110, this mainboard supports both Ubuntu Desktop 24.04 and Fedora 41.
But it seems DeepComputing is developing their own Fedora 41-based remix according to the following article.
There is OpenKoji in China. There are producing custom vendor disk image for various boards (especially if they are based in China). You can see various Fedora Remix disk images here: https://images.fedoravforce.com
I haven’t ordered Famerwork 13 JH7110 motherboard myself. I assume we could produce a disk image for it, but without iGPU support. Firmware, mesa, etc. are not upstreamed.
For a brand new SoC/SBC it’s usually 12 - 24 months before we get a decent (might not be full) upstream support. This is mostly a commuity work to get this upstreamed. StarFive is one of a great examples how a company can go from none experience to having one of the best upstream support (for RISCV SoC) doing most work on their own. Some things like iGPU are unlikely to get upstreamed to my knowledge.
IIRC Imagination started working on BXE-4-32 GPU IP:
Based on previous discussions it could happen, but it’s hard to predict ETA. It’s already 2+ years since JH7110 is available.
