@bsletten well you don't and the Chinese have been pushing the architecture quite tremendously recently.
Why Infineon and other companies alike don't is beyond me though

I’ve been bullish on RISC-V for quite some time for a variety of reasons.

One issue that I also expected is unfolding in real time. The West wants to control Chinese access to technology, but how do you restrict access to open source hardware?

This is an early access build - not intended for production use:

wget -q -O - api.adoptium.net/v3/binary/ver | tar xfz -

It needs libatomic1 (Debian/Ubuntu) or libatomic (Fedora) to avoid a runtime error

Is there *any* physical RISC-V hardware at all that actually implements the Svpbmt / page-based memory types? It seems like all the cores I can find with MMUs don't do this, maybe because most of the cores have their original prior to that extension being approved? But there's code for it in Linux, so somebody must have hardware, right?

Keep in mind that not all OS images may work fully and may lack drivers. For my one for example you can just boot into memory. Debian runs quite well but still needs a custom kernel (do not upgrade the kernel unless you know what you’re doing). Even RISCV is tier 2 level in FreeBSD many things are missing. Pkg completely, ports is a mess.

So, I'm closing this test for today and I'm honestly very happy how the board performs in the wild.

Attached you can find the metrics and the system wasn't bothered in any way... But I also need to say, that everything is running in a very optimized way with a really low footprint in all ways. Thank you all (it were more than 20 people over the whole day) for testing, stress testing and your feedback I got during the day. The next steps will result in replacing ns[01,02] and ntp[01,02] (low performance) with ( boards. ns[03,04] and ntp[03,04] will remain on ARM architecture until everything is running stable. Guess, you will see some more RISC64 related content soon - stay tuned!

Pretty boring so far, I guess?
Unfortunately the thermal sensors are not working, that ones would be pretty interesting. As we can see it's more or less idling and already getting warm, tending more to hot. Ok, I'm running it as you can see on the photo without any active cooling. For running in the DC it will get active cooling but for now I want to know if it will just throttle, turn off or maybe even throw kernel panics etc.... stay tuned

Running a test instance of ( as a instance server alternative to on now… currently on but will switch to this night if everything works as expected. Any interests in compiled risc64 bins for Linux and FreeBSD?

Alright, here we have my first new ( board running . I already prepared a image which will be flashed after work. It’s playtime - thanks to the

@gyptazy @frankenmichl wobei...die Sourcen für RISCV Prozessoren bzw Evalboards sind doch nicht zwangsläufig verfügbar oder? Glaube nicht dass nur unter der GPL verfügbar ist 😉

, can you help me? I’m looking for a ( board like the which is not out of stock and can be shipped to Germany.

My last two orders never arrived, so maybe someone can recommend something? Thanks!
