There have been discussions about this, and my conclusion is that there definitely could be a problem on the order of ARM’s. With luck, RISC-V will learn from history and not doom itself to repeat the same mistakes.

Is there an existing standard that board implementations can rally around? Something like OpenBoot? Make it a defacto standard.

We have device tree. The problem on ARM is

1) Qualcomm and other SoC vendors fighting interoperability

and

2) Users not understanding device tree.
