#RISCV update: first bug ticket filed :-)

I am performing a Scientific Experiment to see if I can set fire to a #RISCV CPU by building ALL THE THINGS on it AT THE SAME TIME. Gonna bung a #Jenkins and a #CPANtesters environment on it. If you are a software dev who wants to do portability testing email me and maybe I'll give you an account on it. People who I have drunk beer with get priority, of course. Or you could get your own here https://labs.scaleway.com/en/em-rv1/

A couple of new toys arrived today:
- Milk-V Duo S (Dual #RISCV C906 cord and an Arm64 Cortex-A53). Can apparently run RTOS and Linux simultaneously. https://milkv.io/duo-s
- An Intel N100-based mini PC that I want to use as a VM test server (https://fosstodon.org/@sxa/114026699928477190) Supplied with Windows but do I (a) dual boot it (Disk is 512GiB) (b) Put Linux on a second drive (c) Decide if it's good first then buy another (or something similar)? https://fosstodon.org/@sxa/114026699928477190

Both are smaller than I expected!

Orange Pi RV2 is a single-board PC with an 8-core RISC-V processor, but not sure what to expect in terms of software support...: https://www.cnx-software.com/2025/03/08/orange-pi-rv2-low-cost-risc-v-sbc-ky-x1-octa-core-soc-2-tops-ai-accelerator/

Europe bets once again on RISC-V for supercomputing: https://www.theregister.com/2025/03/07/dare_europe_risc_v_project/

#Europe bets on #RISC-V for homegrown supercomputing platform
https://www.theregister.com/2025/03/07/dare_europe_risc_v_project/

"Do you #DARE? Europe bets once again on RISC-V for #supercomputing #sovereignty
€240M found for three-year sprint to develop three chiplets for #HPC, #AI"

If the #EU would take this serious, that should have been Billions instead if Millions. And not a 3y sprint.

This would be really worth the investment. We need much more than that. Yesterday.

Hmmm I wonder if the #RISCV ESP32-C3 SoC also has these undocumented commands discovered in #ESP32

@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:

This new VisionFive 2 RISC-V board looks interesting, with performance about between a Raspberry Pi3 and Pi4. Neato!
