  • RISC-V
    • We previously used Temurin’s build from last October
    • Temurin finally released their updated RISC-V JDK21 binary yesterday
    • We now have a running controller and agent running Jenkins latest LTS with JDK21 from Temurin
      • Thanks a lot to the RISC-V Developer Boards program and to Pine64 for their support
      • Latest Jenkins LTS, latest JDK LTS, but on a very outdated OS
    • This should be visible on the Jenkins booth during FOSDEM
    • We have another board (VisionFive 2) that supposedly runs Debian, which could allow us to run Docker
    • No, we don’t support RISC-V yet
