RISC-V Hardware¶
Current RISC-V development boards provide an early place to run RISC-V applications and evaluations with standard operating systems. While most of these systems are not yet “high-performance”, we have made several RISC-V platforms available for testing and benchmarking as prototypes.
You also have the option to test RISC-V platforms with QEMU, an open-source emulation and VM tool that can run RISC-V operating systems with RISC-V CPU emulation.
Current Status¶
BUGS / Feature Requests¶
- Physical devices are currently being set up with our standard load-out.
- The MangoPi device currently does not support shared home due to its networking setup.
System Specifications¶
| Node Name | CPU | Memory (GB) | Network | Platform Name | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| johnny-rv5-1 | 4xU74 cores and 1xS7 core, 1.4 GHz | 16 GB DDR4 | 1 GB Ethernet | SiFive Unmatched board | |

Software and Tools¶
RISC-V images can currently be run with QEMU - we recommend using standard Ubuntu RISC-V images or SiFive’s Freedom Unleashed SDK.
