Rocky Linux 10 Embraces RISC-V: A Giant Leap for Open Source

2025-05-21

Get ready for Rocky Linux 10! This release marks a significant milestone: official support for the RISC-V architecture. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Fedora RISC-V community and Rocky's AltArch SIG, a riscv64gc build will be included, targeting platforms like the StarFive VisionFive 2, QEMU, and SiFive HiFive Premier P550. While some features might be limited on certain platforms like the P550, out-of-the-box functionality on the VisionFive 2 and QEMU is a highlight. This community-driven initiative, started in early 2024, showcases the power of open-source collaboration with upstream Fedora RISC-V efforts.
