I've started building Linux-libre kernel packages for RISC-V in the freesh repository,
starting with version 4.19.1.                                                             GitWeb

Since there isn't a standard RISC-V architecture you might ask which RISC-V? I mean       How To
the 64-bit little-endian variant. More specifically, -march=rv64imafdc or RV64GC for
short. This seems to be what's been agreed on by major GNU/Linux distros.                 Articles
I normally build all supported kernel versions on all supported architectures. In the
case of RISC-V, though, versions older than 4.19 won't be supported since they lack       RSS Feed
the necessary drivers in upstream. This is the minimum version needed to boot into
userland without patches.                                                                 About Me
This brings the total number of supported architectures to 7.                             Contact Me
