47: RISC-V and Open Hardware

Fedora Project — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 16:00:00 -0600

We are excited to welcome Isaac Chute, an experienced software engineer with a background in embedded systems and a passion for open-source hardware. We'll delve into the world of RISC-V, an open-source instruction set architecture (ISA), and explore its integration with Fedora. Join us as we discuss the current state of Fedora on RISC-V, the challenges and opportunities in porting Fedora to this architecture, and the future prospects of RISC-V within the Fedora ecosystem.

The Fedora Podcast features interviews and talks with the people who make the Fedora community awesome! These folks work on new technologies found in Fedora, produce the distro itself, or help put Fedora into the hands of users. There is so much going on in Fedora that it takes a whole podcast series!
