On December 6th, 2025, at the OpenCloudOS Operating System Ecosystem Conference, Wu Wei, Co-founder of Shanghai Kubuds Technology Co., Ltd., and R&D Engineer Sun Min were invited to take the stage. Centered on the theme “Three Years of Accumulation, Straight to RVA23,” they delivered in-depth presentations on the RISC-V Prosperity 2036’s layout and the achievements of the OpenCloudOS RISC-V SIG, respectively.

Wu Wei: RISC-V Prosperity 2036 Promotes Synergy Between RISC-V Ecosystem Talents and Industry

As the Manager of RISC-V Prosperity 2036 and RISC-V Ambassador, Wu Wei first interpreted the core objectives of RISC-V Prosperity 2036: by 2036 (the Bingchen Year), complete RISC-V adaptation and optimization for all key foundational industries, unite over 100 chip manufacturers and 500 software enterprises, and build a top-tier RISC-V talent network with a scale of over 10,000 professionals.

Currently, the plan has partnered with organizations like PLCT Lab, Milk-V, and Sophon Technology to promote coverage across the entire industry chain. As of September 2025, it boasts over 50 member organizations. It has also innovatively launched the “Development Board Serendipity Drift Program”—a process involving “manufacturer/individual donation - developer application - practical use”—to lower the entry barrier for developers and facilitate the proliferation of RISC-V technology. Wu Wei also mentioned that as a “gap-filler” in the RISC-V open-source software ecosystem, Kubuds Technology will continue to leverage the RISC-V Prosperity 2036 to connect industrial resources.

Sun Min: Significant Three-Year Achievements of the OpenCloudOS RISC-V SIG

Following that, Sun Min, an openGauss riscv maintainer and aosp-riscv contributor, detailed the establishment background and technical support achievements of the OpenCloudOS RISC-V SIG. The SIG’s formation stemmed from a dual opportunity: firstly, RISC-V has grown into the third major CPU architecture after x86 and Arm, with its ecosystem gradually maturing; secondly, against the backdrop of IT application innovation, support from the Beijing Municipal Science & Technology Commission and the IT Application Innovation Working Committee for the OpenCloudOS community and RISC-V technology. Furthermore, OpenCloudOS and RISC-V are highly complementary in dimensions such as “open-source driven, open governance, domestic substitution, simplicity, and customizability,” laying a solid foundation for cooperation.

According to Sun Min, after three years of dedicated effort, the SIG has achieved several milestones: adapting to 5 RISC-V development boards including VisionFive 1, Megrez, and URDP1000, and releasing 4 general OS images; completing the build of over 2500 baseos software packages and over 5400 epol software packages, cumulatively resolving 151 technical issues; achieving 45% completion in desktop and Mesa adaptations, providing support for graphical interface applications. On the technical front, the SIG has selected the Linux 6.6 Long-Term Support (LTS) kernel, meeting both the IT application innovation requirement for “CPU controllability with no export control risks” and enhancing RISC-V support for server/desktop scenarios. This has enabled the implementation of features such as basic graphics card support (Gnome desktop), Chromium browser, ffmpeg video codec, KVM hardware virtualization, allowing the efficient running of the Hunyuan large model (Hunyuan-0.5B-Instruct-Q4_K_M) on Ultrarisc DP1000 hardware.

Looking Ahead: From Open Source Community to Industrial Implementation

Sun Min revealed that the SIG will advance adaptation with the RVA23 standard as the core, focusing on the layout of AI, machine learning and HPC fields, and plans to release the RVA23 preview image in Q2 2026. Meanwhile, it will collaborate with Tencent ecosystem applications (such as Tencent Meeting and WeChat backend) for commercial implementation. Through diverse channels including “Fork/PR participation in development, WeChat group communication, RISC-V Prosperity 2036 Internship Program, and vendors joining RISC-V Prosperity 2036”, it will invite global developers to jointly build an independent, controllable, secure and efficient RISC-V hardware and software ecosystem.

The conference also shared RISC-V beginner resources, recommending a series of courses on compiler principles, operating systems, and simulator development created by the PLCT Lab of the Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences, as well as practical tutorials on Bilibili such as “Developing a RISC-V OS from Scratch” and “Porting the V8 Engine” to support talent cultivation.
