At last I got that final but important piece for my RISC-V SBC ( @bananapi BPI-F3): the cooler. Now I can finally start compiling some big chunks of code like Qt and KDE software. I do have distributed cross-compiling set up using Icecream, but apparently you can't prevent it scheduling compile jobs locally on SBC and only send them to more powerful computers. Let the fun begin…

Just got some RISC-V hardware goodies to play with in the following days/months: BPI-F3 SBC by @bananapi with SpacemiT K1 8-core CPU supporting RVV 1.0 vector extensions. Hooked it up to the TV, booted it for the first time from a microSD with the default Bianbu GNU/Linux distro, so far so good. Will try to get Gentoo or openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma/software running next.

I started looking at how bad is the situation regarding cross-building system packages nowadays since I want to experiment with building an image for #bpi_f3 autovectorized to see how RVV + gcc-14 fares.

So far the worst had been perl modules having runtime checks or getting confused between where is the sysroot vs where to install, but beside that Gentoo crossdev is working smoothly.
