And we have lift off, got #Xonotic working on my #RISCV #RISC_V board, latest #ubuntu release that's supposed to go onto a HiFive Premier P550 works so much better the the provided image be #MilkV ,only downside can't clock the SoC up to it's possible 1.8 GHz with that and fan is annoying as hell.

@frameworkcomputer my blog about the RISC-V board which DeepComputing's founder Yuning Liang has donated to OpenPrinting is now featured on their site:

Nice blog post from DeepComputing about their talk and booth on FOSDEM and their meeting with me on their booth:

As I told earlier here in a longer thread with @zygoon , Yuning Liang, founder of DeepComputing has donated their RISC-V board for Framework laptops to OpenPrinting on the last FOSDEM. Thanks a lot!!

Now we can test the printing stack on this platform, including making Snaps for RISC-V.

Printing works so far, by the way.

And here are my adventures of setting it up:

Question for Tech mastodon, how is RISC-V coming along? Likely to be viable consumer tech in 3 years? 5 years? I know you can get SBCs on RISC-V chips and there's some Linux support now. #computer #risc_v #tech

@frameworkcomputer @zygoon On my #DeepComputing #RISC_V board with #Ubuntu 24.04 v1.1 I have now done

$ sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop

This installed ~300 packages and now I have a lot more desktop applications and utilities, an Ubuntu-themed GNOME desktop, even with the Noble Numbat wallpaper (instead of the DeepComputing one).

And for me it makes the impression that the YouTube videos in Firefox run more smoothly (more fps).

Note: All apps are *.deb, most Snaps are not built for RISC-V...

@frameworkcomputer @zygoon #DeepComputing has published an update of the #Ubuntu 24.04 image (vers. 1.1)!

It fixes most of my complaints, and of Zyga, too:
- #Snap works now! Kernels supports squashfs, I could install snapd, snapcraft and rockcraft, but did not find any app Snap for #RISC_V. Seems I have to start with the #OpenPrinting Snaps ...
- There are 2 Browsers, #Firefox, and #Chromium on it, DEB packages
- Standard Ubuntu GNOME layout, launcher on the left

#Fedora ist bereit für #RISC_V

RISC-V ist eine offene Befehlssatzarchitektur (Instruction Set Architecture, #ISA), die auf den Prinzipien von Reduced Instruction Set Computing ( #RISC ) basiert. Im Gegensatz zu proprietären Architekturen ist RISC-V kostenlos und offen. Im Hinblick auf Offenheit und Freiheit ist die Entwicklung von RISC-V-Hardware für #Linux ein wichtiger Schritt.
Zielsetzung primäre Architektur.

2025 will be the year of RISC-V desktop!

RISC-V Mainboard for Framework Laptop 13 is now available

"We’re happy to share that DeepComputing’s DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard for Framework Laptop 13 is now in stock and shipping in the Framework Marketplace. This is very much a developer-focused board to help accelerate maturing the software ecosystem around RISC-V."

Inside SiFive’s P550 Microarchitecture
https://old.chipsandcheese.com/2025/01/26/inside-sifives-p550-microarchitecture/

"The P550 is a 3-wide out-of-order core with a 13 stage pipeline. Out-of-order execution lets the core move past a stalled instruction to extract instruction level parallelism. It’s critical for achieving high performance because cache and memory latency can be significant limiters for modern CPUs."

RISC-V Made Nice Software Progress In 2024 While Interesting Hardware Still Rare

At last I got that final but important piece for my RISC-V SBC ( @bananapi BPI-F3): the cooler. Now I can finally start compiling some big chunks of code like Qt and KDE software. I do have distributed cross-compiling set up using Icecream, but apparently you can't prevent it scheduling compile jobs locally on SBC and only send them to more powerful computers. Let the fun begin…

Just got some RISC-V hardware goodies to play with in the following days/months: BPI-F3 SBC by @bananapi with SpacemiT K1 8-core CPU supporting RVV 1.0 vector extensions. Hooked it up to the TV, booted it for the first time from a microSD with the default Bianbu GNU/Linux distro, so far so good. Will try to get Gentoo or openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma/software running next.

The #risc_v workshop at #SC24 is today from 2 pm to 5:30 pm. The agenda can be found at the link.
