Risc-V emulation on top of x64 (using QEMU)

[SpidFightFR]

Hello everyone. I just had a few question about Risc-V emulation on proxmox using qemu.

The package qemu-system-misc provides the binary /usr/bin/qemu-system-riscv64 that allows for emulation of riscv64 if i'm not mistaken.
Problem is apparently this package isn't the one used by proxmox, there is another one.

Will the same features come to proxmox eventually?

Best regards, Spid.

Hi,
AFAIK, there are plans to add it eventually, but yes, it's not included currently. Feel free to open a feature request https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/ so that we can better keep track of the request.

Hey Fiona, thanks for your answer !
Okay, i'll make a post on bugzilla. I'll keep you in touch ! Just in case, if someone is needed to test beta features about this emulation, i have a homelab with proxmox on it, so i can totally give some help for testing !

Best regards, Spid.

FWIW I could not find a bug for this, so I submitted one. Thank you for your consideration.

The riscv64 emulation in ProxMox would be flippin cool as Risc-V is gaining steam in development. It won't take over ARM or x86 anytime soon but over time it might.

Agreed. And I don't need another test board on my rack shelf.
