Comment on Progress on running Haiku OS on VisionFive 2 RISC-V dev board

Comments

Amazing progress, especially for a single-person effort. X512's posts (linked from https://github.com/X547/Haiku-riscv) are well worth a read - can't wait to give it a try. The sources to the VisionFive 2 port are not uploaded so far.

Haiku already runs great on the HiFive Unmatched board, the VisionFive 2 version now makes it possible to run Haiku on a RISC V machine which sells below $100 (+display, keyboard, mouse, case). I would expect that the effort to port the OS to the Pine64 Star64 board (which uses the same SoC as the VisionFive 2, the JH7110) is relatively small, so there's another option to run Haiku soon.

Don't forget the PineTab-V, available for preorder now, delivery "late May". No doubt very compatible with the Star64, but in a 10.1" tablet with detachable keyboard.
