    "Raspberry Pi Pico RISC-V Emulator Runs Linux" ( 2 days ago )

    "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."

    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.
