PasRISCV now has its own local CLI debugger alongside the GDB remote server. It supports breakpoints, single-stepping, register & memory inspection, and allows simultaneous local CLI and remote GDB sessions. A public debugger API enables future graphical debugger frontends.
#RISCv64
Shipped BuildKit for RISC-V64. Green CI, packages built. Users tried it: crash loop.
"No worker found" - missing runc, wrong ENTRYPOINT/CMD, hanging tests.
Lessons:
✓ Test integration, not just compilation
✓ Add timeouts everywhere
✓ Document WHY, not just WHAT
Visible success hiding more profound problems. Post-deployment debugging is the real work.

Something is coming...
Yes, it's 4 AM right now. I've been doing this since around 1 AM.
Trust me, once it gets good, I'll properly reveal it.
It does have something to do with the #RISCV hardware I ordered recently.
I'll get somewhere with this, I promise, alright?
It may take longer than the hardware arrival, but I'll get there in the end.
#Debian13.0 Ready To Introduce Formal #RISCV Support But Still Bound By Slow Hardware
#Debian's RISC-V ambitions date back a decade when thfirst #RISCV64 port was started for Debian and then after all the work over the years, Debian 13.0 in August will finally debut it as an official architecture. #RV64GC is the current target for Debian RISC-V and using UEFI-based booting as the default. Over seventeen thousand source Debian packages are building for RISC-V with Trixie.

The upcoming #debian 13 release #trixie will have full #riscv64 support and ports of it are already used in #ubuntu images to run some #riscv development boards.
So I took it as a #docker image base to produce riscv64 binaries on my #forgejo build runner.
I always loved Debian's simplicity regarding cross-platform developmenmt. 🥰
And I hope that we will see official debian-13 images for all available riscv hardware in the near future.
What is impressive here is the availability of this feature in #JuliaLang #JuliaPackaging - when compared with competing programming environments:
* #dotnet #NuGet only has crude runtimes like #x64, and #arm64.
* #python #PyPI wheels seems equally constrained with #manylinux supporting plain, e.g., #x86_64, and #aarch64.
Not to mention #BinaryBuilder in general with support for e.g. #musl, #armv7l, #bsd and #riscv64
Whatever the number of applications of #microarchitecture specific binaries.
The #OpenPrinting #CUPS #Snap is now available for #RISCV in the Snap Store!
To build it it just needed to add #riscv64 as supported architecture in the snapcraft.yaml file.
I has taken 2:30 hours (!) to build on my #DeepComputing / #Framework RISC-V board, and the build servers of the Snap Store need the same time to build it.
Thanks to Heinrich Schuchardt (xypron), RISC-V expert at #Canonical, for providing me a kernel which does bridge networking.
I really need to setup a crossbuild environment for #pkgsrc ...
Building rust which is a dependency for ansible on the #VisionFive2 is now in its third day of building and I'd like it to be done by Friday ^^'
#riscv #riscv64 #NetBSD #SBC #OpenSource #opensourcehardware #build
Evidence that the wifi dongle is actually working ^^
#NetBSD #pkgsrc #OpenSource #opensourcehardware #SBC #singleboardcomputer #riscv #riscvsbc #riscv64
As much as I love source based package management like #pkgsrc on @netbsd ... this has been running for 10 hours and all I want is my weechat instance xD
Yeah the VisionFive 2 isn't exactly fast ^^'
Also USB works with the latest current image for riscv 💪🏻

Release is coming - help us with testing!

I sort of accept that EFI forces a RISC-V 64 bit bootloader to adhere to Windows binary formats, somewhat less why does it need to show that it's not compatible with DOS, but I'm dumbfounded by the fact that I can see int 21h being called in the preamble...
So since the irradium #Crux #Linux derivate on my #VisionFive2 was broken (didn't boot anymore without any errors, just froze) and I never liked this distro anyway I was looking for alternatives... and for some reason the @netbsd generic "qemu" image... just booted and installed out of the box xD
#RISCV #StarFive #riscv64 #SBC #opensource #netbsd #bsd #freedom
Just booted Parch Linux on #RiscV64 Qemu
unfortunately i don`t have a bare metal hardware to test the image on it so i do the development inside of the Qemu.
I was able to boot Alpine on hifive permier p550
alpine:~# uname -a
Linux alpine 6.6.67-0-eswin #1-Alpine SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu, 26 Dec 2024 14:02:15 +0000 riscv64 Linux
But I'm not sure if linux-eswin is a good name for the kernel package.
@zital interesting at #Trisquel we pretend to support #riscv64 on the next release, having a Debian node would be a good way to start a building node.
I wonder how hard would it be to compile major packages like Linux, Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice source packages maybe too much to ask o_O
I need to ask one for Christmas 🎄 so we can test it
