#riscv

#ubuntu has been installed and updated to #PluckyPuffin on the #riscv sbc along with #LXDE.

So far it is chugging along quite as long as sound is not required. I’m having issues with sound over #hdmi out. Will have to #tinker around a bit more to see if I can get hdmi audio out to work.

Oh, I am also having issues with #Conky not working. So that something else I will need to play with.

A team of researchers from Fudan University in Shanghai developed a 2D chip with 5,931 molybdenum disulfide transistors, making it the most complex 2D logic circuit to date. The chip is built using #RISCV architecture.

Despite the lab-level fabrication capabilities, they achieved a manufacturing yield of 99.77 percent. RV32-WUJI consumes only 0.43 mw of power and is a significant step towards the development of higher-density chips in the future.

@rl_dane Re: #RiscV... if we can get to sort of N100/N150/N305 levels of performance and better power consumption I'm there with 'bells on'. 2-3 years out? The Orion 06 looks good... halfway there... ish.

The more I learn about Apple Silicon Macs, the less appealing they are to me.

Let's go #RISCV!

Banana Pi BPI-CM6 is a compute module with a SpacemiT K1 RISC-V processor

The Banana Pi BPI-CM6 is a computer-on-a-module that’s the same size and shape as a Raspberry Pi CM4 and even uses the same board-to-board connectors. But while Raspberry Pi’s compute module has an ARM-based processor, the BPI-CM6 is powered by a SpacemiT K1 octa-core RISC-V chip.

Basically it has the same capabilities as the Banana Pi BPI-F3 single-board computer that launched a year ago […]

I think for my funsies shenanigans tonight I will do a fresh #Ubuntu server install on my lil #RISCV SBC followed by a fresh install of #LXDE

#Europe Takes Another Whack At Homegrown Compute Engines
Digital Autonomy with #RISCV in Europe, Project "#DARE" is very much focused on #HPC even if it does have potential #AI use cases. Funded by #EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, the same pan-European organization that has funded pre-exascale and #exascale systems. A total of 38 different organizations, have joined up to work collaboratively on three different RISC-V compute engines.

#Linux Mint Debian Edition learns how to OEM, Ubuntu releases a #RISCV image for the Orange Pi RV2, Tuxedo Snapdragon laptop updates, and GPMI wants to replace HDMI.

Pine64 StarPro64 single-board PC with a RISC-V processor and 20 TOPS NPU arrives this month

The StarPro64 is a single-board computer with a quad-core RISC-V processor, hardware-accelerated graphics and support for 8K video playback, and an NPU that delivers nearly 20 TOPS of AI performance.

First unveiled last fall, Pine64 now says StarPro64 should be available for purchase before the end of April.

The board measures 133 x 80 x 19mm (5.24″ x 3.15″ x 0.75″) and features a PCIe x4 […]

Never underestimate the impact of open source on long-term development in innovation in hardware and software.

I remember discussions claiming that RISC-V would never compete with other processors, and so on. It reminds me of the discussions in the late nineties where people said Linux was nice but would never compete with SunOS, AIX, or HP/UX.

People should focus on RISC-V, not just ARM or other proprietary architecture.

Looking at recent changes and RISC-V evolutions:

A RISC-V 32-bit microprocessor based on two-dimensional semiconductors -https://archive.org/details/s41586-025-08759-9

2D 32-bit RISC-V processor https://www.electronicsweekly.com/news/business/2d-32-bit-risc-v-processor-2025-04/

The original open source design is based on https://github.com/olofk/serv SERV - The SErial RISC-V CPU made by Olof Kindgren

When Prof. Krste Asanović and graduate student Yunsup Lee started the open-source project 10 years ago, I suppose they didn’t expect such an impact today. And it seems to be just the beginning.

#riscv #opensource #hardware #innovation

Now it is done: At #OpenPrinting we have now full #RISCV support by our 6 Snaps in the Snap Store:

https://snapcraft.io/publisher/openprinting

- CUPS: Full printing stack
- ipp-usb: IPP-over-USB daemon for driverless USB printing
- 4 Printer Applications: All printer drivers which typically come with Linux distros, ~10000 legacy printers supported

These Snaps can be used on the the #DeepComputing Risc-V board for @frameworkcomputer laptops, also with #Ubuntu Core and #UbuntuCoreDesktop.

This week's donation went to a developer named Justin Hammond also known as "Fishwaldo". He contributes to development of OpenZWave, the PineTab-V, and the Star64 among others.

His code can be found at Github:

https://github.com/Fishwaldo

He has a presence on Mastodon:

https://fosstodon.org/@ Fishwaldo

If you want to help him financially he accepts donations through Github Sponsors.

@frameworkcomputer @zygoon Also the IPP-over-USB daemon ipp-usb is now available for #RISCV in the #Snap Store.

#OpenPrinting

@frameworkcomputer @zygoon

For everyone who wants to build #Snap packages on the #DeepComputing #RISCV board for #Framework laptops:

You need to install DeepComputing's #Ubuntu 24.04 image, but its kernel does not support bridge networking, needed by the LXD which #snapcraft uses, so snapping does not work.

A fixed kernel is already available:

https://launchpad.net/~deepcomputing-collab/+archive/ubuntu/linux/+sourcepub/17144158/+listing-archive-extra

Just install all *.deb files and reboot.

Thanks, Heinrich Schuchardt (xypron), RISC-V expert at #Canonical!

#OpenPrinting

@frameworkcomputer @zygoon

The #OpenPrinting #CUPS #Snap is now available for #RISCV in the Snap Store!

To build it it just needed to add #riscv64 as supported architecture in the snapcraft.yaml file.

I has taken 2:30 hours (!) to build on my #DeepComputing / #Framework RISC-V board, and the build servers of the Snap Store need the same time to build it.

Thanks to Heinrich Schuchardt (xypron), RISC-V expert at #Canonical, for providing me a kernel which does bridge networking.
