Subject: Re: Porting to RISC-V
Hi Palmer
I think move it to riscv github handle and then I can help with
upstreaming in 1.21 timeframe.
Thanks

Typically riscv repos are prefixed with riscv- versus suffixed however that is a minor detail. We’ll need to squash the port into some more logical commits as there is quite a bit of churn in the history, however we’ll tag the repo in its current state to keep the contributor history.

Running against linux-kernel will give more accurate results compared to QEMU’s linux-user emulation which may not be 100% accurate. This is easier to do now as there are several glibc based full Linux distros that can be run in QEMU RISC-V and on real hardware with networking and block storage. i.e. we can rsync binaries in over ssh in the QEMU virt machine. Indeed folk have been running self-hosted GCC bootstraps in the Fedora RISC-V port which has toolchain packages. Now there is a Debian port, and iirc there may even be a SUSE port (Palmer?)
