You would have to build and maintain your own Linux distribution, that is the problem.

- remexre 6y agoOr just use Gentoo (or presumably Nix), or another distro with support for custom build flags for packages, right?
- FullyFunctional 6y agoI don't know if any of these have RISC-V support, but I would be interested in hearing about it. I would actually love a good distro for RV32G which is arguably a better match for FPGA softcores (and dev boards with > 4 GiB of external memory are rare)
- remexre 6y agoLooks like Gentoo's is experimental [0, 1], and [2] looks relevant for NixOS.
