RISC-V firmware project aims to standardize boot process across boards
The Heterogeneous Firmware Interface (HFI) project proposes a unified boot standard for RISC-V devices, similar to UEFI on PCs. It would provide a consistent power-on to OS path across different hardware. The goal is to simplify development and improve compatibility in the growing RISC-V ecosystem.
Meridian48 take
Standardizing RISC-V boot firmware could accelerate adoption, but the project faces the challenge of getting broad buy-in from a fragmented hardware landscape.
