An important one-liner is set to come for Linux 7.2 to enable ESWIN SoC support by default for RISC-V kernel builds. This change will allow default RISC-V kernel builds in turn to boot on the likes of SiFive's HiFive [1]Premier P550 developer board.
Anirudh Srinivasan of Tenstorrent authored the simple Kconfig patch to add CONFIG_ARCH_ESWIN=y to the RISC-V default configuration (defconfig) file. The expressed motivation for getting ESWIN SoC support in the RISC-V defconfig is for making said default configured kernels bootable with the SiFive HiFive Premier P550.
[2]The patch is queued in RISC-V's "for-next" Git branch, so you can expect it to land for the upcoming Linux 7.2 kernel cycle.
