Hello,
will lowRISC participate in GSoC 2018?
I have an idea of porting xen or kvm on lowRISC. What do you think about it?

Hi Denis, thanks for getting in touch. GSoC 2018 is at the stage where
organisations are putting together their applications, and will later
find out if they will be participating or not.
We're currently weighing up what to do with GSoC this year. It's a
fantastic program which we've got a lot out of, but it takes a huge
time commitment to ensure that the participants have a good
experience. It's possible that we skip applying for GSoC 2018 and come
back renewed and refreshed for GSoC 2019.
One of the challenges of porting Xen/KVM to RISC-V/lowRISC would be
that the hypervisor spec is not yet finalised and so isn't yet
supported in HDL implementations. You'd probably be best of pursuing
such a project using a software simulator such as Spike or QEMU.
Best,
Alex

Hi,
let me add, that the Free and Open Source Silicon Foundation will apply
again this year and this and other lowRISC projects can be hosted by us.
Cheers,
Stefan

Hi, Alex,
thank you for your response. Anyway, I will try to do my best if there
is a possibility to port xen or kvm on spike. I know that it won't be
easy, so I want to start to prepare ASAP. On the other hand, I have
some previous experience with RISC-V:

P.S. It was such a pity for me that no one took the DMA-related
project during GSoC 2017.
