Debian 13.0 Ready To Introduce Formal RISC-V Support (But Still Bound By Slow Hardware) (www.phoronix.com)

This is the first release where RISC-V 64-bit is officially supported by Debian Linux albeit with limited board support and the Debian RISC-V build process is handicapped by slow hardware.

Whenever it seems like people are saying there's a solid RVA23 dev board out there, I'll buy it especially if it has a pcie slot on it

The supported hardware/targets with Debian 13.0 on RISC-V include the SiFive HiFive Unleashed, SiFive HiFive Unmatched, Microchip Polarfire, and the VisionFive 2 and other JH7110 SoC platforms. Plus QEMU can work with Debian RISC-V as an emulated/VM target. Other RISC-V single board computers may work fine with Debian 13.0 if resorting to using their vendor kernels. Support for additional boards in the future may come to Debian 13 via Trixie-Backports.
