Abstract

In the course of the past months, Michael has contributed to support for OrangePi RV2 and R2S in the mainline Linux kernel (6.19+), in Yocto's meta-riscv BSP layer and hopefully before FOSDEM 2026, in the U-Boot bootloader. Hoping to attract more users and contributors, and to inspire owners of other RISC-V boards, this presentation will review what has been done so far and the necessary steps to achieve this. It will also cover what's left to do on each board.
