Details

This is going to be an exciting meeting. Drew Fustini will demo Linux running on RISC-V on the Hackaday Supercon Badge, and talk about how we were able to accomplish that using free software tools such as Linux-on-LiteX-VexRiscv and KiCad.

Drew will also look at what's coming up in 2020 for Linux on RISC-V including developments in the kernel, Fedora and Debian, plus what Linux-capable silicon chips are on the horizon.

Jim Campbell will be presenting on one of the newer (and yet-to-be-merged) components of systemd, systemd-homed. We'll take a look at some of the problems it aims to solve, how it attempts to solve them, and when you'd want to use it / when you'd not want to use it.

As always, this is a BYOB event and we will have pizza. We look forward to seeing everyone there.
