on YouTube ↗37m

" summary

Status: toolchain and userspace move upstream — GCC and glibc upstream and LLVM/lld largely landed — QEMU emulator support is in QEMU 2.12 emulator works and GDB has bare‑metal support in GDB 8.2. Linux mainline had initial RISC‑V ABI in 4.15 and device drivers that boot HiFive in 4.19; Fedora (29/rawhide) builds RPMs, Debian package coverage approaches x32, OpenEmbedded builds ~8–9k packages with ~38 failures, Buildroot 64‑bit merged and 32‑bit submitted. Continuous CI capacity and some ports (musl, tool integrations) remain in progress.
