Thank you for your interest in our project. Regarding your inquiry about running the Yocto build system natively on RISC-V, we would like to highlight the following key challenges:
Tooling Incompatibility: Most Yocto “native” tools are optimized for x86_64. Native builds on RISC-V often face missing patches and toolchain errors that require significant manual effort to fix.
Performance Constraints: Build processes are resource-heavy. RISC-V hardware currently lacks the processing power and I/O speed of x86 servers, resulting in extremely long build times (up to 10x–50x slower).
Limited Support: The industry standard is cross-compilation.
Currently, we have not attempted a native build on RISC-V ourselves. We suggest maintaining the cross-compilation model for stability. However, we are open to further discussion and would be happy to share insights if either side makes progress on this front in the future.
