Debian 13 'Trixie' Linux distribution expected to bring RISC-V 64-bit support

News on June 12th, Debian is one of the oldest GNU/Linux distributions. This operating system focuses on stability and does not pursue high-speed iteration, so it released a new version A slew of new features will be revealed very early on. The Debian project has announced that it will bring RISC-V 64-bit support in the future Debian 13 "Trixie".

In an update email shared by the Debian release team a few days ago, Debian developer Jonathan Wiltshire revealed the current situation of Debian under the RISC-V architecture: "Although the RISC-V 64-bit port has made good progress before, in the end It has not been implemented in Debian 12. In the future, this feature is expected to be further improved in Debian 13, and official RISC-V support will be provided later."

IT House learned after inquiry that the currently released Debian 12 supports nine Architecture: AMD64, AArch64, ARMEL, ARMHF, i386, MIPS, 64-bit MIPS, POWER and IBM System Z. There is no official ported RISC-V 64-bit architecture.

The new architecture identification of Debian 13 "Trixie" needs to be carried out in the later stage of the Debian Trixie cycle. This work is expected to officially start with the Debian 13 Beta version one and a half to two years later, so by the end of the RISC -V It will take a long time for the 64-bit architecture to be implemented.

RISC-V is an emerging open source instruction set architecture. It has shipped more than 10 billion cores and is mainly active in low-power embedded devices with lower performance. The RISC-V instruction set is "free to use for any purpose" and anyone is free to design, manufacture and sell RISC-V chips and software.
