I am planning to boot a RISC-V Fedora on QEMU Emulator, but I want to do some changes in fedora distro. Fedora distro without compressed instruction support require for me, for this I have written some steps where I can do changes. This steps completely I have taken from your presentation. Please correct my steps whether I am going in correct way or not ? I am new to fedora as well as bootstrap process. Hi, Did you have time to look into my previous email? It outlines the ideas/step how to do it. > > Steps: > > 1. Installing QEMU (In x86 fedora host PC) > 2.

Linux kernel + basic rootfs (In this step taken Linux kernal from https://www.kernel.org/ and cross compiled with above tool chain, created basic rootfs). You don't need to do this: - Don't use https://github.com/riscv/riscv-gnu-toolchain This is old and all development moved to a proper upstream location. - BBL was replaced by OpenSBI. I would highly advice to avoid BBL. Fedora/RISCV use OpenSBI and BBL is deprecated. - Fedora/RISCV supports RV64GC, but you can run (should be able) RV64G binaries. The latest time I checked glibc will missing DSO (RV64GC and RV64G). That does not affect the ABI. Simply put you need to take Fedora/RISCV disk image and recompile toolchain to target RV64G. Then start rebuilding all the packages. Finally you assemble a new disk image using your built packages. > > > From Here I am not understanding the steps > > 5.
