RISC-V Is Now An Official Debian Architecture
By Michael Larabel, 23 July 2023
- https://www.phoronix.com/news/Debian-Official-RISC-V

"Debian 13 "Trixie" has been aiming for official RISC-V support and
indeed it will happen: RISC-V has now been promoted to an official
Debian CPU architecture.
While long available as a Debian port, as of this weekend RISC-V
64-bit is now considered an official Debian architecture.
Debian developer Aurelien Jarno notes though in the announcement
that the official archive for RISC-V 64-bit is rather bare at the
moment but will be building out soon:" ...

What are the plans for hardware manufacturers?
Which hardware do they plan to manufacture?

SiFive have been announcing high-spec RISC-V CPU chips and showing
demos of desktop-like applications for years. Now various board
manufacturers are starting to make them available for real.

Here's a review of one RISC-V Raspberry Pi clone:
https://hackaday.com/2023/03/06/the-future-of-risc-v-and-the-visionfive-2-single-board-computer/

There's also a microATX motherboard supporting a 64-core RISC-V at
up to 2GHz currently in a successful crowd funding campaign here:
https://www.crowdsupply.com/milkv/milk-v-pioneer

SiFive released a Mini-ITX RISC-V board suitable for a low-power
desktop in 2021, but it's sold out and they're still working on
the next model.

That's kind of the big question. There's a small array of RISC-V stuff out
there, and because the architecture is pretty clean it doesn't require the
complexity of modern Intel systems. But so far everything has been built on
relatively old and slow processes.
