Linux Kernel Patches Posted For The ESWIN EIC7700 SoC + SiFive HiFive Premier P550
Patches were posted to the Linux Kernel Mailing List this morning for wiring up the ESWIN EIC7700 RISC-V SoC support and the most notable board using this SoC so far, the SiFive HiFive Premier P550.
Pinkesh Vaghela of eInfochips posted the set of patches providing a basic Device Tree for enabling the ESWIN EIC7700 RISC-V SoC and its SiFive P550 quad-core CPU cluster to boot the mainline Linux kernel. For those interested there is the patch series with the DT additions for those wanting to try it out now on a SiFive HiFive Premier P550 to run the upstream Linux kernel. In case you missed it, last week I posted our initial review and benchmarks of the SiFive HiFive Premier P550 developer board.
