RISC-V FreeBSD-pkg Repository Launched! Over 11,619 Precompiled Packages Empower Rapid FreeBSD Environment Setup
FreeBSD is renowned for its stability, and its features such as ZFS and Jail, combined with the open architecture of RISC-V, are making it an ideal OS choice for edge servers and network devices. Previously, compiling FreeBSD in a RISC-V environment required additional components, significantly increasing the time and effort developers had to invest. To enhance development efficiency, Zhuo Meng from PLCT Lab successfully set up the RISC-V FreeBSD-pkg repository based on the mirror servers of the Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences, providing developers with a ready-to-use and streamlined development environment.
