Special Devices

It is possible to emulate a RISC-V platform with QEMU. Programs may occasionally crash on QEMU with a segmentation fault despite working on native RISC-V hardware.[1][2]

Installation

Getting the installer

SD card images (SBCs and similar platforms)

For riscv64 it is possible to download images from the community.

Build or download the image.

If the image has the extension .zst, it will need to be decompressed before writing to installation device. Use nix-shell -p zstd --run "unzstd <img-name>.img.zst" to decompress the image.


Binary cache

NixOS Support

All RISC-V platforms are experimental for the time being.

There is a dedicated room for the upstream effort on Matrix, matrix:r/riscv:nixos.org.
