I'm not sure we're ready to do this until we have some hardware on our side to support native building and testing, for the CI runners. There are some talks occurring between suse and a risc-v ISV to acquire development hardware. We will also need to begin mirroring images for this platform; the rancher image mirror scripts currently filter it out, even if upstream does offer them - which many do not. |

Updated with a new commit that uses k3s-root v0.13.0 with RISC-V support. I also had to use a patched version of runc so it allows images built for Next, I will look into integrating the build script (which has been moved into the |
Yes, I'm looking into this. It looks like the only practical issue is that Dockerfile.dapper is based on Alpine that does not have all the requirements for cross-compiling available. My plan is to start with another Dockerfile, based on Debian (I have only tried Ubuntu up to now). |
Hmm, that might be a challenge, as we intentionally build with alpine and musl libc. We wouldn't want to ship binaries built on a different platform for just one arch. I think alpine has some helper scripts that are used to set up a cross build environment, see https://github.com/alpinelinux/aports/blob/master/scripts/bootstrap.sh |
Ok. I will try using that. Thanks. |

I just committed a version that uses Alpine to cross-build for RISC-V instead of Ubuntu. I implemented a I have also integrated cross-building with the Dapper environment, meaning that I successfully built a binary on my laptop, by just running: ARCH=riscv64 SKIP_IMAGE=true SKIP_VALIDATE=true SKIP_AIRGAP=true make

Rebased, updated runc with the upstream version that supports RISC-V, and resolved all discussions. The current status is:
If there was a way to define the required container images per architecture, the RISC-V version would work out of the box. Now, you can either patch running Pods to use the correct images or use a prebuilt binary with the Sample output from QEMU: root@ubuntu:~# kubectl get nodes

I was going to try to rebase/squash this onto current master, but you didn't set the PR to allow maintainers to contribute to the branch. |
|
Rebased/squashed PR looks good on my cluster of Unmatched boards. I just can't run anything on it because none of our images currently support risc64; I'm working on building images for that. unmatched01:~ # kubectl get node -o wide

@brandond, I'm searching for a way to change this, but it looks like it is not supported, since the fork is under an organization account... I see however that you created another branch with the code. Regarding the images, I have made progress in changing all required images to support RISC-V. I track the current status here. I have submitted PRs to several related projects, of which only CoreDNS has already accepted the changes and released a RISC-V image. You can find ready-made images under our Docker Hub account. I also maintain another branch in our K3S fork with updated manifests, until the changes are merged upstream. |
|
Yeah, the image thing will be interesting. Getting upstream to add support for it is part of it, but we'll also need to make some changes to https://github.com/rancher/image-mirror to add support for mirroring the risc-v architecture, without changing existing manifest lists. For the CI config, I'd like to discuss with the team perhaps making risc-v only run on nightly and tag, instead of PR, as it ties up the already over-utilized amd64 runners for a significant chunk of time. |

Quick update:
In the following days, I will update my PRs to klipper-helm and klipper-lb, since now the base Alpine image also supports RISC-V. |
|
You will need to update the install.sh.sha256sum file that has been added for Drone to pass. This file was added after the creation of the PR. |

Done. Thanks for noticing. |
Proposed Changes
Add support for the RISC-V architecture
Types of Changes
Add the architecture to the scripts involved in building and packaging K3s; no code changes.
This is really possible through cross-compilation at the moment,
so I am also attaching a script that can be used from inside an Ubuntu Docker image to build K3s for RISC-V (tested on an M1 MacBook)so an extra script takes care of preparing the cross-compile environment (edit: updated to reflect latest changes).Verification
Starting from a clean checkout of the code, one can cross-compile for RISC-V
in an Ubuntu 22.04 container, by using the following command (edit: updated to reflect latest changes):This will produce the
dist/artifacts/k3s-riscv64binary, which can be installed in a QEMU VM for verification.I provide a pre-compiled binary and instructions here.
Sample output from a RISC-V QEMU VM for knowing what to expect:
Testing
This change is not covered by testing, but I am not sure how this would be possible given limited support of the required utilities for the architecture. This could be initially marked as an "experimental" architecture, until the tools are available for testing.
Linked Issues
This PR is directly related to #7151.
User-Facing Change
Further Comments
This should ideally be integrated with the(edit: The changes are now integrated with the K3s automated build system).Makefileand the automated build system, but I am not sure how these can support cross-compiling K3s - hence the build script. If someone can provide some hints on how to integrate, please do, as it would be really helpful to have an automated K3s release for RISC-V. I will be happy to help.Additionally, this PR is really the first step in the direction of RISC-V support. Utility images should also be made available for the architecture, starting with an image for a(edit: Required images have been ported to the architecture, changes have been submitted as PRs to relevant projects, read on for details.)pausecontainer.
