Hi,

I imagine most people hanging around netbsd do know what RISC-V is.
Even going over the list of contributors to RISC-V, you'll find some
familiar names.

NetBSD doesn't have a full RISC-V port yet because it is difficult to
create a new port and takes time, and people might not have the free
time & energy to work on it, or rank other things as more important to
them personally.

zmcgrew is doing a lot of work on it, but it is still not complete. Help
is welcome, of course.

May be, but the most engineers on this planet still recieve / share / archive / 
search their informations with the highest transfer-efficiency for maximum 
flexibility - in text, sorry..

and commercial ad stuff is "not liked" on scientific mailing lists.

Can you summarize the points you’re trying to make by referencing these videos 
and conference talks for those of us without the time to watch them?



This probably isn't the right media to submit a 2 to 5 page A4 essay 
about the subject of RISC-V.  Most of us don't have the time to write 
such things.  Most of us do have the time to watch TV or a video. 
That's the way that large parts of the population of this planet 
actually receive their information.

2019-01-17 Thread Dinesh Thirumurthy
Hi Zach,

Thanks. I will work on it.

Can we get a ports-riscv list going?

I hang out with Shakti RISC-V project guys when possible.

I want FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD running on their boards.

I have Sifive Linux and lowRISC linux running on FPGAs. As according to
their docs.

FreeBSD runs on qemu.

We can consider sifive_u machine on qemu as common platform to get all BSDs
up.

qemu -machine virt first.

Thanks

Regards
Dinesh

Hi Dinesh,

The RISC-V port is not complete yet. I have the kernel booting to the
point that it wants to mount a root file system, but I am unable to
currently build userland and populate a root filesystem. There is
ongoing work to import a newer GCC that supports RISC-V code generation,
which would allow for this but it's not complete.

The current source is here: https://github.com/zmcgrew/src/

It hasn't landed in cvs yet, I got busy finishing up my master's
degree. I will try and work on it again as I get some more free time,
but that is in limited supply lately.

Hi Matt, Reinoud, NetBSD Users,

Wishing you all a great 2019.

I am looking for NetBSD support on RISC-V.

Apart from Zachary's work at https://github.com/zmcgrew/riscv-tools-netbsd

Is there a port being worked on? What is the appropriate mailing list

Thanks very much.
