The 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 2y 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?
