Developer builds RISC-V OS from scratch, targets homebrew PCs

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from The Register ·

Yuri Zaporozhets, known for homebrew hardware projects, has created a new operating system for RISC-V architecture. The OS runs on custom-built PCs and mini-mainframes, showcasing the potential of open-source chip design. Zaporozhets aims to demonstrate that a single developer can build a functional kernel for emerging architectures.

Meridian48 take
While impressive as a hobbyist feat, this OS is unlikely to challenge Linux or Windows in the near term, but it highlights RISC-V's growing ecosystem and accessibility for independent developers.
