RISC-V Made Nice Software Progress In 2024 While Interesting Hardware Still Rare
RISC-V on the software front made very nice progress over the past year with a lot of Linux kernel and toolchain improvements, new targets being enabled, and new instructions being supported along with other additions for improving the overall RISC-V software ecosystem
It sadly hasn't been too interesting on the hardware side for performance benchmarking with widely available options like the VisionFive 2 being much slower than Raspberry Pi boards. And then the other options available also tend to be on the slower side with no real selling points besides for those specifically seeking on bare metal RISC-V hardware. In turn this should allow recent AMD Radeon graphics cards to work on RISC-V with display support using the company's open-source driver stack.
