Summary from multi-year discussions/feedback on this: - We don't have proper hardware to put into the data center that holds servers used by Fedora infrastructure. - Not enough single and multi thread performance to avoid large impact to Fedora development. Other than that Fedora/RISCV 37 is the first Fedora version to be built fully natively using 20+ SiFive HiFive Unmatched boards. On a good day we can keep up (if the builds aren't too large, e.g. GCC). We don't really run Bodhi thus once package is built it's immediately available. We run a very minimal setup right now (ideas to expand that). Another news is that Fedora/RISCV Koji server ( http://fedora.riscv.rocks/koji/ ) just moved into Fedora infra owned server. We are about to start work on Fedora 38/Rawhide. 2023 is potentially a transition year. Ventana Veyron V1 Development Platform looks good (I assume it has BMC). SOPHGO SG2042 should also show up with 64-core @ 2.0GHz (T-HEAD C910) in early 2023 (?) I am not yet convinced about their upstream support efforts (TBD). If that's not available with proper support or/and in proper quantities the plan would be to continue expanding Fedora/RISCV builders with JH7110 (upstreaming ongoing for kernel/OpenSBI/U-Boot). Mainly PINE64 Star64 and VisionFive V2 boards. SiFive/Intel Pro P550 (Horse Creek) and that also has OCP DC-SCM for BMC card. Sipeed TH1520 based cluster board (7 modules, BMC incl, T-HEAD C910, up to 16G of RAM or 4G/core). > > My plan is to set up and maintain a riscv64 shadow builder as soon as > possible after our Veyron-v1 bring-up.

If there is away to acquire Veyron V1 Development Platform I would be interested to talk, and figure out what that would take. Such hardware would be a game charger, and I do trust Ventana regarding upstream support :) Cheers, david > > > jeff > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > Fedora Code of Conduct: > https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > Do not reply to spam, report it: > https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
