Are there any plans to support RISC-V devices in PMOS ?

@PublicLewdness actually risc-v is actually supported. its just that there aren't any devices packages yet, but that should be trivial since many devices have mainline (forks) out there

That's good to hear. Are there any specific team members who are working on the device ports or are they in more need of hardware donations at this point ?

@PublicLewdness not that i know. there were are few attempts but they never made it afaik. at this point, i think the bottleneck is free time and motivation of volunteers. maybe a volunteer would be motivated with a hardware donation?

Fair enough. Do you know if leadership prefers the offer of hardware donations handled a certain way or can I just make an offer here on Lemmy ?
