Does it? They say the risc-v support “is discontinued”, which seems to imply something much stronger than what you say.

- camel-cdr 3y agoThe article says: > Android will continue to support RISC-V. Due to the rapid rate of iteration, we are not ready to provide a single supported image for all vendors. This particular series of patches removes RISC-V support from the Android Generic Kernel Image (GKI). There is some more context in the android SIG: https://lists.riscv.org/g/sig-android/topic/105816077#msg389 https://lists.riscv.org/g/sig-android/topic/105816077#msg389
- andrekandre 3y agothat link makes it much more clear > they are removing older code for Qualcomm specific use case that is no longer supported (Wear OS IIRC was discontinued). That pre-dates all the current work, so I expect this was removed because the platform was deprecated and > since maintenance of an officially _labelled_ GKI kernel is more expensive, we're removing the sticker for now. so... basically a nothingburger?
