The RISE RISC-V Runners: free, native RISC-V CI on GitHub
- Western0 6mo agoPerfect for snooping on other people’s projects. No one in their right mind would touch this. It’s cheaper to buy the board yourself.
- mhitza 6mo agoIt seems to be a Linux Foundation project, my trust is implicit higher than what you're claiming. Why wouldn't you trust them? It's also aimed at open-source projects, for free, with the intent to improve RISC-V support.
- heliumtera 6mo agoWhy would you trust anyone offering free candies?
- PufPufPuf 6mo agoDepends on the context. I'd trust the lady giving free candy samples in a candy store. The incentive is clear here, too: RISC-V needs adoption.
- ctz 6mo agopeople better not be snooping on my public open source projects!
- LeFantome 6mo agoRISE is supported by many legit companies. Stealing is for sure not the intent. The idea is to promote testing on RISC-V and to eliminate lack of hardware for being the reason not to. Obviously, low budget projects and Open Source are the primary targets. Commercial products can afford real RISC-V hardware. This is who you are trusting: https://riseproject.dev/members/ https://riseproject.dev/members/

- jubilanti 6mo agoYes, what a devious plan: give open source software projects a free CI service so you can... read their open source software code?
- downrightmike 6mo agodiabolical
- IshKebab 6mo agoVery good move. Hopefully GitHub won't ruin this with their CI charging changes.
- woodruffw 6mo agoI’m a fan of this, although I’m concerned about the security/trust model: using a third-party CI orchestrator on top of GHA means trusting them with all of your secrets, potentially sensitive logs, etc. Those concerns are somewhat lessened in the context of public repos, but even public repos contain nontrivial workflows that use configured secrets.

- stabbles 6mo agoMy experience with RISC-V so far is that the chips are not much faster than QEMU emulation. In other words, it's very slow.
- OsrsNeedsf2P 6mo agoOftentimes slow is fine, when the work is parallel and the hardware is cheap
- pelasaco 6mo agowhich, sadly, isnt the case right now
- dlcarrier 6mo agoIt is the case for embedded microcontrollers. An ESP32-C series is about as cheap as you can get a WiFi controller, and it includes one or more RISC-V cores that can run custom software. The Raspberry Pi Pico and Milk-V Duo are both a few dollars and include both ARM and RISC-V view. with all but the cheapest Duo able to run Linux.
- brucehoult 6mo agoAll Duos run Linux.
- LeFantome 6mo agoRISC-V microcontrollers are inexpensive but “application” processors will be expensive until volumes increase. Performance will get “good enough” over the next 2 years. Prices will drop after that.
- detaro 6mo agoThat the "good enough" SoCs will be arriving "over the next 2 years" is what the RISC-V advocates have told us for quite a few years now.
- boredatoms 6mo ago..is this RVA23?
- LeFantome 6mo agoNot yet RV64GC (C910 cores)
- camel-cdr 6mo agoSadly still on quite old hardware, with no RVV. Hopefully scaleway will have some newer servers in the future and this can be simply updated to the new devices.
- singpolyma3 6mo agoGitHub only :(
