Dear U-Boot RISC-V users,
For those of you who like microkernels, it might be interesting to test yet
another OS on your RISC-V platform: QRV, which is my port of QNX 6.4 to 64-bit
RISC-V. The sources can be found at:
https://github.com/r-tty/qrv
(one shell script clones the monartis/openqnx repo and patches it to QRV.
Then, in directory os/, the usual "make" command builds everything)
I tested QRV in QEMU, and also on SiFive U740 ("Unmatched") -- that's all
what I got. It would be interesting to see whether QRV boots on other
RISC-V boards too.
Booting in U-Boot is straightforward, and doesn't differ from Linux
(kernel+initramfs are loaded; kernel is started). Instructions for booting
in U-Boot are in the boot/ directory.
Thanks in advance!

Yuri
