This change will allow default RISC-V kernel builds in turn to boot on the likes of SiFive&#8217;s HiFive Premier P550 developer board.<\/p>\n<p>Anirudh Srinivasan of Tenstorrent authored the simple Kconfig patch to add CONFIG_ARCH_ESWIN=y to the RISC-V default configuration (defconfig) file. The expressed motivation for getting ESWIN SoC support in the RISC-V defconfig is for making said default configured kernels bootable with the SiFive HiFive Premier P550.<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.net\/image.php?id=sifive-hifive-premier-p550&#038;image=sifive_hifive_p550_4_med\" alt=\"HiFive Premier P550\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The patch is queued in RISC-V&#8217;s &#8220;for-next&#8221; Git branch, so you can expect it to land for the upcoming Linux 7.2 kernel cycle.<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/news\/Linux-7.2-ESWIN-Default\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Linux 7.2 To Enable ESWIN SoC Support By Default For RISC-V Kernel Builds https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/news\/Linux-7.2-ESWIN-Default Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":269575,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.phoronix.net\/image.php?id=sifive-hifive-premier-p550&image=sifive_hifive_p550_4","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71],"class_list":["post-269572","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269572"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=269572"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269572\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":269576,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269572\/revisions\/269576"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/269575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=269572"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=269572"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=269572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
