Rocky Linux 10 Will Support RISC-V

Rocky Linux is an open enterprise Operating System designed to be 100% bug-for-bug compatible with Enterprise Linux.

Thanks to the incredible work of the Fedora RISC-V Community and Rocky's AltArch SIG, this release will include a riscv64gc build, targeting the same platforms supported by Fedora—such as the StarFive VisionFive 2 (VF2), QEMU, and the SiFive HiFive Premier P550. In short, package updates for Rocky Linux will not be bottlenecked on waiting for RISC-V versions to build, or on fixing failures unique to the archicture. HardwareStatusNotes StarFive VisionFive 2 ✅ SupportedRecommended board; standard kernel support QEMU ✅ SupportedIdeal for testing and evaluation SiFive HiFive P550 ⚠️ Limited supportVendor kernel; some feature limitations Milk-V / Banana Pi 🚧 Not yet supportedUnder consideration as mainline support matures This has been a community-driven initiative since early 2024, collaborating with upstream Fedora RISC-V efforts.
