On March 14, the 2024 XuanTie RISC-V Partner Conference, hosted by Damo Academy, was held in Shenzhen, with the theme of “Open and Connected”. Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ISCAS) was invited to the conference. ISCAS released the RISC-V based laptop “Ruyi Book” and demonstrated the latest developments in RISC-V at the application level:
This laptop is equipped with the XuanTie C910 processor. It is the first laptop powered by openEuler OS running on RISC-V. It can smoothly run large-scale office software such as DingTalk and Libre Office on the openEuler OS. It is the first time that RISC-V full links are streamlined from the bottom-layer processor to the operating system and commercial software.
“Ruyi Book” offers a desktop with the option to run two operating systems – EulixOS 2.0-RV and PolyOS 2.0-RV. EulixOS 2.0-RV is a RISC-V-native distribution based on openEuler 23.09, primarily targeting ecological developers. Both operating systems feature intuitive UIs, built-in AO.space’s personal data asset security system, and integrate RISC-V’s native development toolkit, “Ruyi SDK”, helping developers achieve RISC-V-native development and compilation environments. This release not only improves the RISC-V ecosystem’s support for general-purpose computing, but also enriches the full-stack offerings of processors and operating systems.
AO.space, carried by the openEuler SBC SIG team, is also an open-source project developed by ISCAS and donated to the openEuler community.
“Ruyi SDK” is a RISC-V open source development toolkit jointly developed by ISCAS and T-Head.
Open Source: Contribution and Sharing
The openEuler RISC-V SIG, led by ISCAS, collaboratively developed and released the openEuler RISC-V edition, which serves as the foundation for the “Ruyi Book” laptop. Throughout the development process, the team made continuous contributions to adapting openEuler for RISC-V. The release of the “Ruyi Book” represents not only an advancement in the RISC-V ecosystem’s general computing capabilities but also a further enrichment of the home-grown stack of chips and operating systems.
Planning for the Future
The openEuler community will further advance the development of the RISC-V ecosystem and remain committed to the following areas:
-
Release the RISC-V edition of the openEuler 24.03 LTS version.
-
Explore the optimal application ecosystem of openEuler on RISC-V.
-
Continuously optimize the software and hardware of openEuler RISC-V at the system level.
The openEuler community is dedicated to the principle of “open source: contribution and sharing”, embracing not only technological innovation but also actively sharing our achievements under the spirit of openness and collaboration. By harnessing the power of open source, openEuler aims to build a more open, inclusive, and innovative science and technology ecosystem, and openEuler’s partners will find more opportunities for commercial success.
