You've got to install QEMU with riscv64 support to run ALT RISC-V port on QEMU.
 
In case of the ALT x86_64 host system, for example: [http://sisyphus.ru/en/srpm/Sisyphus/qemu qemu-system-riscv-core].
 
These bits are needed:
* ALT image -- will be soon
* [http://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/people/arei/riscv/repo/riscv64/RPMS.hasher/kernel-image-qemu-un-def-4.19.6-alt3.noarch.rpm kernel for QEMU]
 
After these steps are done it's time to run a kernel!
 
(one possibly needs to change paths to the kernel and rootfs according to a particular system)
<source lang="shell">
qemu-system-riscv64 \
  -nographic -machine virt -kernel /boot/vmlinux-4.19.6-un-def-alt3 \
  -drive file=rootfs.raw,format=raw,id=hd0 -device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 \
  -append "earlyprintk root=/dev/vda rootwait fastboot console=ttyS0 debug sunrpc.debug STOP=udev" \
  -netdev user,id=eth0 -device virtio-net-device,netdev=eth0
</source>

RISC-V

RISC-V is an open and free instruction set architecture (ISA). The RISC-V ISA specifications are licensed under a Creative Commons license (CC BY 4.0). Anyone could get the final versions of the user-level ISA specifications and drafts of the compressed and privileged ISA specifications.

Another key feature of the RISC-V architecture that it is scalable and allows multiple implementations. The minimal specification has the commands to store and load, jump and integer arithmetic. It supports the 32-, 64- and 128-bit register sizes: "RV32I, RV64I and RV128I" ("I" stands for integer). This Linux port runs on "RV64IMAFDC" or "RV64GC" ("G" == "IMAFD"):

  • I - Integer and basic instructions
  • M - Multiply and divide
  • A - Atomic operations
  • F - Single precision floating point
  • D - Double precision floating point
  • C - Compressed instructions

At this page one could find the latest information about ALT port status for the new platform - RISC-V (RV64GC). We're building it on the HiFive Unleashed board from SiFive. If you want to test the ALT port (QEMU or HiFive Unleashed) or take part in the development please refer to this page.
