What should we call the kernel package for hifive premier p550? It may also work on other boards based on same SOC.

whoops! I lost the votes when fixing a typo. its eic7700

I kinda like linux-p550

@ncopa While the prettier name might be "premier" here, I don't think it would be wise to base the kernel package name on it. Especially if there's a another board that might be in the same family but based on another SOC.

@ncopa so annoying that mastodon does that when you edit a poll and doesn't provide any warning that votes will be dropped. :(

@ncopa I've built packages for Arch Linux, and I'd live to sync sources and patches with you: github.com/edolnx/linux-edolnx and github.com/edolnx/linux-edolnx I'm going to test on MilkV Megrez boards as soon as I can get one. These configs have appropriate options enabled to support most distros as well. I'm still working on Nvidia driver support, hope to have those working before EOY

@ncopa good to know. That tree is missing a series of patches that enable amdgpu support for rDNA based graphics cards. There are 5 patches in the dev branch I'm using that will get merged eventually to enable those newer GPUs. There's still the Nvidia problems I'm chasing down
