Ubuntu dropping existing RISC-V processors |
 |
Future versions of the Ubuntu distribution will be dropping support for existing RISC-V processors, focusing on future CPUs and their capabilities. An issue report on Launchpad outlines the change: "For Ubuntu 25.10 release we plan to raise the required RISC-V ISA profile family to RVA23. The ubuntu-release-upgrader should stop upgrades beyond Ubuntu 24.04 on hardware that does not support the RVA23U64 profile. RVA23U64 is the profile relevant for user space. As there is no upgrade path from Ubuntu 25.04 Plucky for RVA20 systems, we should also stop upgrading these RISC-V systems from Noble to Plucky. Probably a warning is adequate here." The interesting implication here is that virtually no RISC-V processors currently support RVA23, which means almost no existing devices running RISC-V will work with Ubuntu 25.10 and later. Only newly created RISC-V systems will work with the upcoming Ubuntu release.
