> It’s bad enough to need a bespoke boot and bring up for each CPU and board on Arm, but with RISC-V you still need that as well Really? IANA-KD, but I have read and seen grumbling from ARM developers about RISC-V "overreaching" and standardising more to prevent that kind of issue. Now, maybe the Chinese board manufacturers have gone rogue and ignoring these suggestions, but this fragmentation is something that RISC-V leadership was acutely aware and conscientiously made effort to address. I mean, I could imagine that at the embedded level sacrifices had to be made, but I'd be surprised at anything strong enough to power a ChromeBook and up to have this as an issue... but if you are better informed please share.
