mneptokAny plans for an official ISO installer for RISC-V?17:15
mneptokhttps://riscv.org/news/2024/06/worlds-first-risc-v-laptop-gets-a-massive-upgrade-and-equips-with-ubuntu/17:16
mneptokSomeone could purchase this, but they'd be SOL if they need to easily re-install.17:17
UnivrslSuprBoxmneptok: Do you have any details on what firmware is on that device? If it doesn't have any type of standard boot method, an installer ISO won't be useful anyway17:43
mneptokFrom my understanding the open architecture of RISC-V may require specialized installers per platform. At least until a reference platform is created. But it seems wise for Canonical to at least provide public ISO images for users of partner hardware that have pre-installation.17:46
mneptokCaveat: I'm as useful when discussing RISC-V platform implementation as a whistle on a plow.17:46
EickmeyerMy guess is it would most likely be a pre-installed image similar to a Raspberry Pi, but I'm purely speculating here.17:51
mneptokPlease join me behind the "I'm Not Quite Sure If I'm Making Sense Here" divider.17:53

liushuyuEickmeyer, mneptok: RISC-V devices are similar to RPi devices, where different devices will require a different board configurations (like where can the kernel find the peripherals/what are the valid MMIO address spaces etc).19:13
liushuyuAlthough, there are some efforts of getting UEFI/ACPI standardized in RISC-V ecosystem, but to my knowledge, most implementations are emulated through U-Boot (somewhat similar to the EBBR [Embedded Base Boot Requirements] thing in the ARM world)19:13

rbasakI need moderation again for u-d-a@ please22:43
arraybolt3rbasak: oops, disregard my email to you just now, I apparently was too quick in assuming a ballot didn't show up22:56
rbasakarraybolt3: no, it was entirely my fault. Thank you for checking!23:03
rbasak(now resolved)23:04
arraybolt3Thanks for your help!23:04
