I'm really pleased to announce that we are making Fedora RISC-V images available. These are clean, RPM-built, bootable disk images: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/risc-v/disk-images/ The "full fat" version also contains all of the extra packages at the time of building, so you can install them without needing a network connection. When we have networking this image will be dropped (because dnf will be able to pull the packages over the network from the repo at https://fedorapeople.org/groups/risc-v/RPMS). Note there is no bootloader or kernel. You'll need to find a compatible bbl and kernel according to your hardware. Suggestions for how to boot can be found in the 'readme.txt' file. <<< Also! >>> We are running an autobuilder which takes new packages from Fedora's build system (Koji) and speculatively tries to build them in Fedora/RISC-V (up to 16 packages in parallel). The status is here: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/risc-v/logs/status.html There are a few missing bits: - We haven't yet built all the packages from the Fedora @Core group. This remains our aim, and we should get there quickly with the help of the autobuilder. - In particular there is no systemd or plymouth, so at the moment Fedora boots straight to a command line prompt. Hope to get this fixed soon, and then the distro will look a lot more like real Fedora when it boots. - At the moment we are only building Fedora 25 packages, but hope to build other Fedora releases (including Rawhide) at some point. - Although there are no broken dependencies in the base disk image, some of the RPMs supplied are uninstallable because they require runtime deps which are not yet built.
