Right, it even runs without any issues on slow #rv64 hardware like my #visionfive2 board.

StarFive VisionFive2 – The perfect RISC-V Board for Ubuntu – Review • gyptazy.com - The DevOps geek

The VisionFive2 board, built on the innovative RISC-V hardware architecture, has found a powerful ally in Ubuntu. The exceptional support that Ubuntu provides for VisionFive2, offering the latest packages for RISC-V architecture, even in current releases down to 24.04 is mind blowing. This stands in stark contrast to other operating systems like Debian and FreeBSD,

FreeBSD 14 RISCV64 Build Box Image for QEMU

A ready to use FreeBSD 14 image based on the RISCV64 hardware architecture to build binary packages from source.

Free VPS?! #BoxyBSD did it for you - the opensource community and BSD fans!

Recently, we also started to provide #ARM64 based VPS, just next to the typical #AMD64 ones. Unfortunately, we reached today our limit for the ARM64 ones and can only provision amd64 ones.

I’m already looking to solve this quickly. Also to mention, we still have a very limited #RISCV64 alpha. But this one is really limited because there’s still no H flagged board available, which means #RV64 users run on a dedicated Vision Five 2 board.

Hope this update finds you well! Have a nice weekend!

Cheers,

Are you already using #containers on your #RISCV hardware?

I created some ready-to-use container images for #RV64:
* #Debian Trixie
* #Ubuntu Jammy (22.04)
* Ubuntu Mantic (23.10)
* Ubuntu Noble (24.04)
* #Fedora 39

RISC-V Container Images

Find RISC-V based Container images for your personal use on RISC-V hardware with Docker, Podman etc.

I guess #RISCV64 based VMs would be really pretty cool on #BoxyBSD. I think this would be really valuable but I’m struggling on possible implementations.

A: Using my 4x #RV64 #VisionFive2 boards - each board has 8GB. This could lead into a temporary and time limited, dedicated usage of 7-30d.

B: It could be shared across with 7 users by #jails on #FreeBSD. Requires better support in FreeBSD.

C: QEMU emulated instances running on amd64

I’d really like to see rv64 being pushed and it was excactly the reason to get those boards to get more experience on that platform. However, just sharing some ideas - it does not mean that they will be available in the near future (but would be cool if so).
#snac 2.48 (2.49-dev) compile for #RISCV64 #Debian & #Ubuntu. Thanks to @[email protected] for today's release!

This should help all the people that are running on #RV64 hardware (like the #VisionFive2, #MilkV, #LicheePi4A, ...) and also want to run #snac2 as a #ActivityPub instance in the #Fediverse like me.

You can grab it here: https://cdn.gyptazy.ch/files/riscv64/ubuntu/snac/snac_2.49_dev_ubuntu_23.10_riscv64_linux.tgz
I can just fully approve @[email protected]! The #VisionFive2 #RISCV64 (#RISCV #RV64 #RISC) board is absolutely awesome!

This is how one of the cases looks like for the #VisionFive2 #RISCV board.

Happy serving on #OpenBSD & #Ubuntu. Hopefully soon again back on #FreeBSD. #rv64 #risc #risc64 #riscv64
