Compiling Haiku for RISCV64

Haiku can be compiled for devices using the RISC-V 64bit processor architecture. (RV64GC)

Unstable
The state of the RISC-V port is early. Only the bootloader currently runs.

Create a compiler toolchain

Building the RISCV64 compiler toolchain is quite easy using Haiku’s configure tool.

For a complete list of flags for the configure script, see Haiku’s Configure Options

  1. Perform a git clone haiku and buildtools
  2. Within the haiku source directory, create your workspace for RISCV64 via mkdir generated.riscv64; cd generated.riscv64
  3. Run configure to build your RISCV64 toolchain. ../configure --use-gcc-pipe -j4 --cross-tools-source ../../buildtools --build-cross-tools riscv64

Building a filesystem image

Once you have a complete RISCV64 toolchain, you can build a Haiku filesystem image via jam -j2 -q @minimum-mmc

UEFI Bios
The generated filesystem image can be booted under a RISCV64 UEFI BIOS
