Android and RISC-V: What you need to know to be ready
Android and RISC-V: What you need to know to be ready
You can build, test, and run the Android support for RISC-V on your own machine.
Very exciting - however, I spend most of my time building apps in Flutter, which is also a Google project, so I expect that it will receive RISC-V support about as the sun is burning out
Edit: looking at the bug trackers, it seems like there is actually some movement on this, so maybe my cynicism is misplaced
Does Flutter ship binary components where the target architecture would matter?
Yeah, the flutter engine itself is shipped as a pre-built binary, and there are a few major libraries that rely on native extensions that the tooling needs to be set up to cross-compile for
imo, pretty exciting
Way cool.
In my mind, RISC-V serves but one purpose: to put ARM in its place. It needs to exist to reduce the temptation for anti-competitive practices.
This seems to be a great development.
gonna be interesting to see how this pans out
So exciting!
