Haiku OS ported and running on RISC-V

I'm actually quite sad that the Haiku community never managed to marshal the effort to do a Raspberry Pi port. It would have been a killer OS on it, but somehow it never panned out.

(I remember some early discussions in the forums where at first the Pi was dissed in favor of the BeagleBone, and then because of Broadcom, and then, later on, because of "lack of openness", so I'm chalking it down to a mixture of bias and a huge blind spot...)

We were never opposed to a rpi port, but it was much more difficult in the days of rpi1/2, yes, and the BeagleBoard was the initial target instead. These days there is some rpi4 code in the tree, but nobody found the time or motivation to work on it seriously, I guess.

So how production ready is haiku? Targeting the rpi seems like a strong “user-grab”.
