@lupyuen interestingly 32 bit ...
https://wiki.debian.org/RISC-V
“For general purpose computers, the focus shifted to 64-bit for many years already, and there isn't a lot of interest in 32-bit architectures except for specific purposes;
32-bit ports in Debian already struggle to compile some large packages of the archive in the last few months/years, a problem that will become worse with time”
@paolog I think Huawei Hi3861 runs on 32-bit LiteOS + OpenHarmony? 🤔
@paolog That's what I guessed from the Huawei docs: https://device.harmonyos.com/en/docs/start/introduce/oem_wifi_start_des-0000001050168548
@lupyuen there's definitely activity going on in Debian around RISC-V https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2021/05/threads.html#00052
@paolog Yep there's a Debian port for 64-bit RISC-V, not for 32-bit RISC-V microcontrollers like Hi3861
@lupyuen Thanks for the info; I can see they are moving fast with building all the tooling and SW required to get it going. I was just speculating what the chances are that a parallel, community-driven ecosystem of FOSS tooling may develop on RISC-V similar to raspberry pi etc. This reawakened my interest for Debian support of (yet) niche architectures
