Following the official [1]Fedora 44 images released one month ago, Fedora 44 RISC-V images were published today for those wanting to run this newest Fedora Linux on RISC-V hardware.
RISC-V images of Fedora 44 are now available for container, server, and cloud variants. The Fedora 44 RISC-V material is considered non-official and community-contributed alternate images currently with Fedora Linux.
The Fedora 44 Server images for RISC-V use a Linux 6.19 based kernel close to upstream and have been tested on the Vision Five 2, Orange Pi RV, and Milk-V Mars.
New to Fedora 44 is having an "Omni" kernel build with the Fedora-Server-Host-Omni images rather than the Fedora-Server-Host-Generic. The "Omni" kernel in Fedora RISC-V land aims to support a broader set of RISC-V boards, including in cases of not yet having all the necessary patches in the upstream Linux kernel.
The Omni kernel with Fedora 44 is able to boot on the following RISC-V boards: Banana Pi BPI-F3, Bit-Brick K1, DeepComputing fml13v01, Lichee Pi 4A, Milk-V Jupiter, Milk-V Mars, Milk-V Megrez, Milk-V Titan, OrangePi R2S, OrangePi RV, OrangePi RV2, Pine64 STARPro64, SiFive HiFive P550, SiFive HiFive Unmatched, SpacemiT K3 Pico-ITX, StarFive VisionFive 2, StarFive VisionFive 2 Lite.
With the Omni kernel it's quite a nice list with the [2]SpacemiT K3 , [3]SiFive HiFive Premier P550 , [4]Orange Pi RV2 , and others. Meanwhile with the latest Ubuntu Linux RISC-V builds limited to the RVA23 profile, their current range of hardware support is very limited.
