Chinese companies have focused on RISC-V as an alternative to ARM since the export controls. The thing with their chips is that SDK support is somewhat lacking? This is my conclusion after working with the extremely popular ESP devices.

Are you talking about the riscv esp32-3c SDK? Because I think the Espressif SDK has really matured over time for their other cores.

The documentation is far from top notch. Compare it with Zephyr OS documentation and you'll see quite a difference.
