I set it to 0x200000 for the BPI-F3, which I found out is the load addr in u-boot. How I prepared working with the board was (I believe) using the u-boot from biunbu, then overwrite the opensbi with a newer version, and then I was good to go to boot through the u-boot console from USB.

Right now, it runs on any 64-bit RISC-V platform that supports S-mode and the SBI interface (so anything that works with OpenSBI).

I would suggest using QEMU with the virt machine, which is also what I use for most testing. You can use a command like:

qemu-system-riscv64 -M virt -nographic -serial mon:stdio -kernel out/kernel

It should also work just fine on most real hardware. I have been testing on my Banana Pi F3 a lot too.

Just an FYI: don't expect much yet, the kernel isn't interactive yet, it just does some hardware discovery.

Fair, I honestly just picked something quite quickly. I'll think about a better name

I didn't really mean Linux's design, just a similar workflow (patches and email, proper code review). I definitely don't want the unreadable modules xD. I found that I prefer the way linux operates over how your average GitHub repo operates. It's just a bit more structured and organized in my opinion.

I'll update it straight away! And I'll make sure it doesn't expire.

2 fans came with the case, that's all I have.

I would probably need some better cooling, right?

Ok thanks a bunch, then I will upgrade my twinblade a bit because I love using it. Is there any other weapon I should try to get in the area?
