It would be great if someone can explain (make tutorial/guide) on how to boot debian into a RISC-V open-source micro-controller and develop on the RISC-V architecture. On the only available Open-source hardware in the world today (please correct me if I am wrong) the ->HiFive Unleashed

and the official website

I know a little bit of C and C++, but totally clueless on how to become a open-source developer. I want to support the community, with work of-course .

What architecture is that compatible with? Arm64?

Arm previously known as Advanced RISC Machine, originally Acorn RISC Machine. i got that from WIKI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture .stevepusser wrote:What architecture is that compatible with? Arm64?
Anyway, Arm is based on RISC I, i think, but now there is RISC V(5). If we can support more OPEN-SOURCE hardware, i am sure everyone will benefit.
thank you!Head_on_a_Stick wrote:RISC-V is a new architecture and is supported by Debian:stevepusser wrote:What architecture is that compatible with?

Re: [OPEN-SOURCE hardware ]support-> HiFive Unleashed
It is probably worth noting that RISC-V isn't the only open-source hardware.
Raptor Computing have their Blackbird motherboard that runs POWER9 cpus and these offer considerably more processing power than the current RISC-V implementations:

The price isn't that much more than the HiFive board and the architecture should be supported by Debian's ppc64el port:
https://wiki.debian.org/ppc64el
Kernel v4.15+ is needed but buster has that already so it should be good for the Debian 10 release.
