Portland Linux/Unix Group General Meeting Announcement
Who: Drew Fustini
What: Linux on RISC-V
Where: https://meet.jit.si/pdxlinux
When: Thursday, November 4th, 2021 at 7pm
Why: The pursuit of technology freedom
This talk will explore the future of Linux on RISC-V, an open
instruction set (ISA). I will introduce the open source FPGA ecosystem
including Migen and LiteX, and explain how they make it possible to
quickly implement SoC designs in an FPGA capable of running Linux on a
RISC-V. I will also look at the current RISC-V SoC's that are capable
of running Linux and available dev boards. I will also talk about how
support in Linux for RISC-V is continuing to evolve such as the
introduction of KVM RISC-V support and look at RISC-V hardware support
that is in the process of being upstreamed. I will describe how the
RISC-V Platform Specification Task Group is trying to standardize boot
and runtime requirements with the creation of the Linux-2022
specification.
