#Europe bets on #RISC-V for homegrown supercomputing platform
theregister.com/2025/03/07/dar

"Do you #DARE? Europe bets once again on RISC-V for #supercomputing #sovereignty
€240M found for three-year sprint to develop three chiplets for #HPC, #AI"

If the #EU would take this serious, that should have been Billions instead if Millions. And not a 3y sprint.

This would be really worth the investment. We need much more than that. Yesterday.

PipeWire 1.4 Is Out with RISC-V Support, MIDI2 Support, JACK Control API, and More

Highlights of PipeWire 1.4 include support for the RISC-V CPU architecture, a PipeWire JACK control API, DSD playback for the ALSA plugin, a system service for pipewire-pulse, Bluetooth support for BAP broadcast links, support for hearing aids using ASHA, a new G722 codec, and UMP (aka MIDI2) support.

ual is a new programming language for small systems, it borrows from Lua, Forth, and Go/TinyGo.
github.com/ha1tch/ual

It's not a scripting language, it compiles to TinyGo, and Go, therefore binaries are produced for the same targets of those compilers. In the case of TinyGo using an optimised LLVM-based backend (esp32, risc-v, wasm, various mcus), and for mainstream server/desktop computing architectures via the Go compiler's own backend (x86-64, arm64, etc.) and OSes (Linux, Mac, Windows).
The general idea is that this design allows developers for fast iteration cycles on a workstation, with sound and safely tested algorithms before moving to a second stage workflow on the real embedded platform.

((Work in progrees))
Not ready to use yet, but I thought I'd RFC before I complete the first implementation, whilst there's still time.

Hope you find it interesting!

RISC-V represents an exciting future for computing - one where everything from CPU architecture up to your favorite applications can be fully open.

We are excited to share a few milestones toward RISC-V support that our RISC-V SIG has produced!

* A RISC-V Koji instance is now live in our data center to support development and package maintenance
* We have ready-to-boot images that you can try using today

@jpaskaruk I see no reason why #RISCV hardware wouldn't support ZFS, because that's just a matter of software. You don't need to talk directly to the hardware to do zfs, the filesystem software talks to other drivers to read/write disks. So in the unlikely event that you can find RISC-V hardware that runs #Linux or #FreeBSD I would expect ZFS to Just Work™.

🧑‍💻 Framework Laptop’s RISC-V board for open source diehards is available for $199
—Ars Technica

「 Framework CEO Nirav Patel says the board "is focused primarily on enabling developers, tinkerers, and hobbyists to start testing and creating on RISC-V," and processor limitations mean it uses soldered-down RAM and eMMC storage rather than the user-replaceable RAM and storage that the other Framework boards use 」

@sldrant @OpinionatedGeek @jtonline I was talking to the #Immich people today at #FOSDEM and was quite impressed with it (other than current lack of support for #RISCV but that's not an issue for many people!) It was on my radar to try anyway but playing with the UI it seems quick and definitely worth a try when I get back (It's been on the long list of things I want to do with my home LAN but will get bumped up!)
Until today I didn't realise it had video support too with transcoding via ffmpeg
