Chatting about Saifang: Linux mainline officially supports Saifang JH7100 chip, how did you do it? [Copy link]

 

I have been paying attention to their Starlight board before. JH7100 is the world's first RISC-V intelligent visual processing platform launched by Saifang Technology. It uses a dual-core 64-bit high-performance RISC-V CPU core, and the core performance is similar to the Arm Cortex-A55 core. Today, I saw that the Linux mainline officially supports the Saifang JH7100 chip. I don't know how amazing it is, so I chatted about it~

First PS his official news:

Recently, the Linux 5.17 stable version was officially released, and its mainline support for RISC-V has also been updated. The main changes are:

-Support RISC-V sv48

-Supports Saifang Technology JH7100 RISC-V SoC

-Support KVM Supervisor Binary Interface v0.2

- Support THP migration

This marks that Saifang Technology's JH7100 chip has become the first commercial high-computing-power RISC-V chip platform, breaking the domestic stereotype that RISC-V can only be used in the low-end MCU field .

Then PS the conversation with him:

(1) How is this done?

-The upstream of the main line was done with the help of community leaders, mainly Emil Renner Berthing and Geert Uytterhoeven, who did a lot of behind-the-scenes support work.

(2) Can domestic developers also participate?

-There will be open source projects released, and we can send you a copy later. If you are interested, please come and participate.

It is a new company that develops artificial intelligence, which is a good direction!
