#2Love this and love the idea of having a RISC based workstation as my daily driver. Any suggestions on where to buy it ?

Probably wait for chinese risc-v workstations/servers to start showing up and get someone to buy it locally for you?

Re: Haiku OS ported and running on RISC-V
#6Down thread folks were asking to run BeOS binaries on it, sounds like a great opportunity for a couple fun hacks.
* ppc -> risc-v binary translator, much more tractable with fixed width 32 bit instructions
* running this on an FPGA that already includes a RISC-V core like PolarFire and then instantiate a softcore PPC. hack Haiku to run the PPC processes on that core. Extra bonus points to dynamically instantiate PPC cores to meet load, make fast ones, wide ones, slow ones.
What a time to be alive!

I guess you can try it on Qemu. Might test it later. UTM offers "Risc-V Spike board" among others.

The screenshots in the linked thread come from an out-of-tree development branch; the "official" nightly builds do not contain any of this work yet.
There is a download link in the thread for one of the test builds. It probably will not work on anything besides a VM, though.

That sounds like the Amiga PowerUp cards with extra steps. :D

The extra steps are what ensures an invariant.
