Wow, I completely missed this update.
Thanks for the great work on the RISC-V port!
Let’s hope, that we will have affordable boards with this architecture in the near future.

X512 should get a medal for his work on RISC-V and Vulkan

Full disclosure, SMP (more than one processor) support is still a WIP via this patch.

That patch works, but needs some minor refinement before being merged.

Does it mean the nightly images page would be refreshed soon accordingly ?..

Or still remain this way ?.. For me this is enough calling to not take this sentence

“Releasing software that requires these unsupported builds is discouraged.”

seriously anymore. I mean you exactly encouraged people to start to use it

Even if it for testing and developing purposes ( only? ) …

Technically that’s still accurate. Haiku currently only “officially” targets x86 32-bit (x86_gcc2), and x86_64 support for major (aka named) releases. However, we likely need to sit down and re-evaluate this position as alternative architecture ports become available.

I just tried the latest RISC-V image in QEMU.
At the first try it only showed a black screen,now I have a desktop.
Mouse and keyboard still don’t work,is that expected at the current state or should I try rebooting more often?
Also the CPU usage is going from 50% to 100% and back every few milliseconds while it’s actually doing nothing (serial doesn’t show any new events either).
