Hello, the Debian riscv64 port is based on the Debian "unstable" suite (i.e. Debian's development branch), so it usually follows upstream's toolchain development rather closely. Things will slow down a bit during the next months, though, as Debian will enter the staged freeze for the next stable release. Debian doesn't have ready-made system images for riscv64 right now. Our plan is to provide a regular Debian-Installer image for riscv64, but one of the last big blockers for that are exactly the elfutils issues that Jim is trying to address in this thread :-). If you have access to a Debian/unstable system somewhere, setting up a Debian-based riscv64 VM can be done rather easily. There is a step-by-step documentation in the Debian Wiki at https://wiki.debian.org/RISC-V#Setting_up_a_riscv64_virtual_machine If you should happen to have further questions, feel free to contact me. > Is a libvirt/qemu setup reliable enough or would you recommend > trying to get real hardware? Qemu works quite well (both user-mode as well as full-system emulation). Debian currently runs a large number of riscv64 package builders in qemu-system instances and they have shown to be very reliable. Regards, Karsten -- Gem.
