StarFive's Efforts in Fuelling RISC-V Software Ecosystem - See Chin Liang, StarFive Technology
No ISA is useful without a software ecosystem. Building on top of StarFive VisionFive board success, StarFive Technology is working closely with RISC-V communities and partners to enrich the RISC-V software ecosystem further.
From the architecture perspective, StarFive Technology is enabling SMP Linux on heterogeneous multicore which consists of core clusters that have slightly different RISC-V extensions. This includes the effort to ensure the standard Linux power management framework works seamlessly on the RISC-V platform.
From the tools perspective, StarFive Technology is ensuring Yocto is easy to use and has better adoption through StarFive StarStudio, an eclipse-based IDE. To pair with the high-performance use cases, another tool-related effort includes enabling advanced features of Perf performance profiling tools to work on RISC-V platforms.
In solution space, StarFive Technology is collaborating to push Debian RISC-V as part of a stable release, a critical milestone for the RISC-V distro. Last but not least, will provide a sneak peeks at StarFive's effort in enabling RISC-V's Chromium OS, the potential world's first RISC-V Chromebook.
