Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

"Raspberry Pi Pico RISC-V Emulator Runs Linux" ( 2 days ago )
https://www.tomshardware.com/news/raspberry-pi-pico-risc-v-e...
https://github.com/tvlad1234/pico-rv32ima
"This project uses CNLohr's mini-rv32ima RISC-V emulator core to run Linux on a Raspberry Pi Pico. It uses two 8 megabyte SPI PSRAM chips as system memory. To alleviate the bottleneck introduced by the SPI interface of the PSRAM, a 4kb cache is used. The cache implementation comes from xhackerustc's uc32-rvima project."

RP2040 Runs Linux Through RISC-V Emulation
The amazing part of this hack is using the SD card as main memory. And booting to a shell in 15 minutes blows the doors off the project that started it all.
It uses 230 1k entries for the cache, https://github.com/tvlad1234/pico-rv32ima/blob/main/pico-rv3...
It looks like it also writes 1k during each block flush. This will definitely put some pressure on the wear leveling algo on the sdcard. :) I am a big fan of this sdcard hack, I wonder what the illogical conclusion is? SDMD RAID?
While it might not make it faster, adding 64Mbit of PSRAM to the other SPI port would make the sdcard live longer.
