Well, the Tensilica ABI only took a few weeks to implement; so I assume that when enough people ask for a RISC-V backend, there will be one in reasonable time. Personally I consider ESP32 and ARM32 support more useful.
- snvzz 2y ago>Personally I consider ESP32 Sure you don't mean Tensilica i.e. legacy ESP32? Espressif has notably switched to RISC-V.
- Rochus 2y ago> Espressif has notably switched to RISC-V Not really switched; they offer ESP32 models with (so far) single-core RISC-V; I don't think they planned to stop selling the original ESP32 designs (they wouldn't do themselves a favour).
- snvzz 2y ago>Not really switched Yes very much switched. Thoroughly[0]. While obviously only for new chips, years have already passed, and many new chips have been released. Tensilica are now only present in a minority of their offerings. >I don't think they planned to stop selling the original ESP32 designs In this market, having long term availability is important. 0. https://riscv.or.jp/en/2021/02/latest-esp32-includes-risc-v/ https://riscv.or.jp/en/2021/02/latest-esp32-includes-risc-v/
- Rochus 2y ago> While obviously only for new chips, years have already passed Well, in 2022 they upgraded to the L7 cores. > having long term availability is important So they will obviously continue to produce the tensilica models (which they wouldn't if they really "switched"); that's all I (and many other developers) need.
