Open Floor Topics
10xEngineers
Was able to install Java and use the runner package, leveraging a shell script, and works good for self hosted runners.
Gitlab runner binary documentation added to the labs doc (notify Jeff)
When having time, will add updates for Teamcity,
Can we host a github runner (self managed), tried source code, but what is provided fetches a precompiled binary that cannot run on RISC-V.
[carl] looking at codeburg’s ci [woodpecker], but it is entirely open source and might be easier to get working
PLCT
The boards in PLCT Lab is running well, and there have been no
unplanned power outages in the past four weeks; no new developers have
applied for ssh access; waiting for the delivery of Milk-V Megrez, it
is estimated that several units will be online in March for CI
services for the open source community.
The RISC-V Lab built by Nanjing Inchi has currently obtained 70 LicheePi 4A, 5 Unmatched, and some K230. It has started to provide some package building services for the Arch Linux community.
Hefei University of Technology (HFUT) intends to establish a RISC-V Lab in Anhui Province, China. Currently, some RISC-V equipment has been obtained through the RISC-V development board wandering project (of the Jiachen Project), and more than 50 students have started to learn RISC-V.
Known possible issues:
January 27 to February 5 is the Chinese New Year. Some office areas
hosting RISC-V devices may be shut down and will be restored after the
Spring Festival. We are currently confirming which areas of RISC-V
boards can continue to serve.
EPCC
Brought wormhole PCIe accelerator online as part of the testbed with latest software API. All pretty stable and working well. Thinking about Carl's point about Fortran, we have lots of hardware and compilers etc available, and a list of the most popular HPC applications - some of these (and libraries) already on the testbed, this could be a foundation to explore some of the gaps/limits here
We have also done some work supporting driving wormhole (and grayskull) from Fortran via OpenMP target offload. Demoed this to Tenstorrent a couple of weeks ago, still lots of work to do but demonstrates the concepts.
OSU/OSL
No updates

Notes & Action Items

2025 Ecosystem Lab Partner Objectives
Setup CI environments for RISC-V Targets
Working on gitlab, todo github action runners
Potential to get buildbot working also look into Jenkins agents
Better understand what resources projects need
Ssh access, compile farm, etc???
On demand remote access containers?
Possible target considerations
Hack-a-thon resources
How to use Labs resources for Risc-v training
Modular use of extensible resources
Sensors
Gpu
Usb class compliant devices
gpio
Places to get people to collaborate and communicate
Forum, mailing list, slack, etc…
Reference architectures
Booting
server/automotive/mobile/ai
Hpc
Get more community knowledge better documented
