RevyOS
Introduction
RevyOS is a Debian based custom distribution developed and maintained by the RevyOS team under RuyiSDK, specifically optimized for the XuanTie chip ecosystem.
RevyOS is part of RuyiSDK, an open-source project initiated by PLCT Lab, aimed at providing a convenient and comprehensive development environment for RISC-V developers. It offers the latest hardware information and software support, such as details about supported hardware devices and software components like OS images (e.g., RevyOS), toolchains, and package managers.
RevyOS provides complete and thorough support for XuanTie chips including XuanTie C906, C910, C920, C908, with default integration of the XuanTie extended instruction sets and the GCC toolchain supporting RVV 1.0. It also features Glibc and Kernel optimized with RVV 1.0 instruction set.
Currently, RevyOS meets basic user needs in office work, web browsing, and video watching.
Based on these customizations and optimizations, RevyOS delivers excellent performance and a great experience on hardware platforms like Lichee Pi 4A, BeagleV-Ahead, and Milk-V Pioneer.
