Porting Alpine Linux to RISC-V

Read Original

The article describes the author's hands-on experience porting Alpine Linux to the RISC-V architecture using the new HiFive Unleashed hardware. It covers the two-phase process of bootstrapping (setting up a cross-compiler and porting musl libc) and the subsequent mass porting of packages. The author discusses technical challenges, patches submitted to the musl libc project, and plans to make RISC-V build cycles publicly available on builds.sr.ht.
