Not sure, I wouldn't count on it. Currently deep in RISC-V and it seems there's hope.

- zokier 2y agoI don't see how riscv can be anything but worse than Arm in this regard. With Arm at least Arm Holdings has some nominal power to steer towards sanity (devicetrees, systemready etc), with riscv it's again full freedom for vendors to make their own bespoke crap.
- rwmj 2y agoUnfortunately this is true in general, but for servers there is some hope: https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-server-platform https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-server-platform
- gtirloni 2y ago> With Arm at least Arm Holdings has some nominal power to steer towards sanity How's that working? RISC-V at least can have a formal spec that companies can choose to follow. The profile mentioned in another comment is one way. Companies can say they're compliant with this or that profile and software can target it.
