RISC-V

More context

Momentum around RISC-V is centered on practical hardware and platform enablement: enterprise-ready CPU efforts, easier SoC support in mainline Linux builds, and broader ecosystem advances like Fedora RISC-V images. In parallel, the RISC-V software stack is expanding with a full-stack open-source RISC-V GPU update and AI/vision acceleration via OpenCV 5 optimizations.
