Readily available RISC-V Single Board Computers are here! But much like the Arm SBC ecosystem, most don’t have a great “out of the box” experience. We are not yet at the point where you can just download the installer ISO from the usual places and put it on your shiny new board. This doesn’t mean the distro you want doesn’t work, so let’s talk about how you can do to get your favorite distro installed. How about graphics? Can I drop a GPU into these systems and get those sweet sweet EGL powered pixels? In some cases: yes, so let’s talk about that and what the challenges are. Then there is Upstream Support. What does that mean? Why is it so slow? What is a vendor kernel and why should I care? Lots of answers to that as well. This is a big overview of what’s going on, where to find info, a showcase of what works, and an invitation to get involved. Lots of resources will be shared, places to go to get help, and what pitfalls to be aware of. We’re going to focus on the Banana PI BPI-F3, Orange PI RV2, MilkV Jupiter, MilkV Megrez, SiFive HiFive P550 Premier, and StarFive VisionFive 2 boards. It’s going to be a lot of fun, and I hope to see you there.
