Very nice!

Boot http://riscv.org/angel/ into linux busybox in the browser

/ # cat /proc/cpuinfo

CPU info: PUNT!

/ #

What does "PUNT!" mean?

It means that the RISC-V Linux port hasn't decided what to put in /proc/cpuinfo yet. The contents of that file are not standardized across architectures, and indeed there isn't much meaningful information to provide there on certain CPUs.

It means that there's still work to do on the Linux port and RISC-Vs supervisor mode ISA in general.
