Linux on RISC-V
summary
Team loads a RISC‑V soft core into a Lattice ECP5 FPGA using LiteX on ECP5 and the open‑source toolchain, adds a 32 MB SDRAM expansion to overcome the badge’s 16 MB limit, and boots mainline Linux (initial boots take ~300 seconds, a community patch speeds that ~10×). VGA framebuffer and serial console end up working, Orange Crab and other open hardware boards are available, Debian/Fedora have ports and QEMU supports running RISC‑V images locally.
