Microsoft biggest customer is USA federal government
That aside, steady progress on riscv is great, what boards are actually working now ?? I’m still working on porting core code from EMC2 from linux.

Even more Milk-V hardware coming up, I was waiting for the Oasis but this might fill the gap: Milk-V Jupiter | RISC-V PC for Everyone

Haiku and HPC ?

That is truly interesting, I’d think in nit to distant future we’ll see a card with a fpgs, riscv core and a nn similar to Tesla’s nn chip all in 1 chip package, maybe using that chiplet architecture from AMD.
Sort of a bridge between early asic design versus modern gp CPUs
That seems really similar to the Tilera cards that were a follow on to MITs RAW architecture. Those cards were used a lot for deep packet inspection and the like (think great firewall of China).

we could have had TRON os (playing full motion video on a 286/386) but msft stopped it’s export. It’s used in embedded applications. The source is here

I managed to build Mesa softpipe OpenGL driver and run some OpenGL applications on VisionFive 2. No llvmpipe yet because it need to build LLVM first that is very heavy. softpipe seems not able to use multiple CPU cores for rendering. Rendering is quite slow.

I built LLVM 17 on VisionFive 2. It took more than 24 hours and completed without any errors/crashes (except config.guess patching).

wow! Really impressive! And pretty fast also, considering running in virtual env 
It run on real VisionFive 2 board, no virtual machines are used.

My bad, with the topic on haikuports.cross I got carried away 
This is really cool!
I’m wondering how soon it will be before I can install Haiku to an SD card (or mini SD, I forget which is it) or the built-in flash chip, and boot it from there, instead of having to go though a bunch of hoops to install it to a PCIe M.2 SSD.
Great progress, X512! Keep up the good work! You’re awesome!

It is already possible. As you can see in screenshots, Haiku is booted from SD card. NVMe is used for extra storage.

Do you update an U-boot on VF 2?
What are the exact steps to getting Haiku installed onto an SD card and booted on the VF2? What firmware is needed (and how to update, if necessary)? What board revision (if applicable)? Is a 4Gb model sufficient, or is an 8Gb model required? If this can all be accomplished easily, I’m going to see about getting a VF2 ASAP.

Hi,
I have input a serial debug to VF2 and I got a BOOT fail,Error is 0xffffffff when
dip is set in mmc, when I change dip set to 0,0 in log whote a is 3rd partition is invalid.
Try booting from MMC1 …
** Invalid partition 3 **
Couldn’t find partition mmc 1:3
Can’t set block device
Please help
I read post before and it’s a solution for NVE, but I have a newest href image and that thing still don’t work
My apologize!
I don.t load an U-boot from source by X512, and many of trouble with that.
Now I have black screen (efi was loaded) and I don.t know to do.
