The Linux Foundation has unveiled the RISC-V Software Ecosystem (RISE) joint project, which aims to accelerate the development of open source software for systems based on the RISC-V architecture used in various fields of activity, including mobile technologies, consumer electronics, data centers and automotive information systems. . The project was sponsored by companies such as Red Hat, Google, Intel, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Samsung, SiFive, Andes, Imagination Technologies, MediaTek, Rivos, T-Head and Ventana, who have expressed their willingness to finance the work or provide engineering resources.
Of the open source projects that the project participants plan to focus on and work to improve RISC-V support, the following are mentioned:
- Tools and compilers: LLVM and GCC.
- Libraries: Glibc, OpenSSL, OpenBLAS, LAPACK, OneDAL, Jemalloc.
- Linux kernel.
- Android platform.
- Languages ββand runtime: Python, OpenJDK/Java, V8 JavaScript engine.
- Distributions: Ubuntu, Debian, RHEL, Fedora and Alpine.
- Debuggers and profiling systems: DynamoRIO and Valgrind.
- Emulators and simulators: QEMU and SPIKE.
- System components: UEFI, ACP.
