Hello there,
I've been working with the MILK-V Pioneer machine for a few months now, and I'm extremely enthusiastic about it. It facilitates the speedy building of binaries for open-source software, which is a tremendous help! As I've previously shared, I plan to take this machine to the Jenkins booth during FOSDEM in Brussels, Belgium, on the 1st and 2nd of February, to showcase Jenkins running on RISC-V.
To add an interesting dimension to our display, I'm considering building something within Jenkins for another RISC-V device.
However, my knowledge of RISC-V microcontrollers and small form-factor SBCs is quite limited. I own an ESP32-C3 board and a MangoPi MQPro. From what I've gathered, the common practice seems to be building the software on an X86-64 machine rather than directly on RISC-V hardware.
I have experimented with several toolchains and even attempted to rebuild some of them, but unfortunately, I haven't had any success.
Given this context, which board and toolchain would you recommend for demonstrating the build and installation of firmware on RISC-V hardware using RISC-V, especially considering that I am currently limited to using Fedora 38? The ultimate goal is to use Jenkins to install the freshly-built firmware onto the selected board.
Thank you in advance for your insights.
Best regards,
Bruno Verachten
