On December 29, Youqilin officially announced that after three months of joint efforts by the Youqilin community and the R&D team of Haihe Laboratory, the first Ubuntu Kylin 20.04 Pro version supporting RISC-V architecture was officially released!
RISC-V is the first open source architecture that can be used without authorization and completely free of charge, allowing the addition of its own instruction set expansion to achieve differentiated development, which has become more and more favored by the industry in recent years, and there are many chips developed based on risc-V architecture in China.
However, the shortcomings of RISC-V are also obvious, that is, the application ecosystem is not perfect.
The Kylin RISC-V version released this time comes with more than 20 self-developed software, which enriches the RISC-V application ecosystem to a certain extent, provides certain convenience for developers and enterprises using RISC-V, and will continue to build the RISC-V ecosystem in the future to bring more possibilities to it.
Unicorn 20.04 Pro RISC-V version mainly:
1. New kernel, using Linux Kernel version 5.11
2, stable tool chain, including glibc 2.31, OpenJDK 11, rustc 1.41, GCC 9.3, Python 3.8, ruby 2.7.0, perl 5.30, golang 1.13, Qt 5.12
3. Beautiful desktop environment, integrated UKUI 3.0
4. Rich desktop applications, with browser epihany-brower 3.36.4, office suite calligra 3.1.0, and Kirin series applications
As the first version, it is also inevitable that there are some problems, the main ones known are:
1. After the control panel modifies the password, the authorization window password is still the original password
2. When there is only one user, the user type is displayed as a standard user
3. Cannot restart, shut down, hibernate, sleep
4. Occasional key rat failure during use. It is recommended to plug the keyboard into the USB CONN 1 lower-level interface, and you need to reseat the keyboard and mouse after the problem occurs
5. Use Win+ arrow keys to adjust the position of the text editor and then close and then open, and the size of the editor changes
Youqilin 20.04 Pro RISC-V version has been launched on the official website, welcome to experience.
