Dear all,

I am happy to announce the release of the RISC-V native-code backend for
OCaml 4.06. See https://sympa.inria.fr/sympa/arc/caml-list/2016-11/msg00012.
html for the 4.04 announcement (note there was no 4.05 release).

The source code is available in the 4.06 branch of

  https://github.com/nojb/riscv-ocaml

It currently targets the 64-bit variant of the RISC-V architecture, with
some preliminary work to support the 32-bit variant.

If you would like to experiment with it, a Docker image with Fedora/RISC-V
and OCaml 4.06 already installed is available.  Simply run

  docker run -it nojb/riscv-ocaml:4.06

All comments warmly welcome.

Best wishes,
Nicolás

Thanks for your work and sharing!

What boards do you test this on?

This is great stuff.  In fact I've been rebasing your original work on
top of 4.06 for Fedora.  I'll compare your 4.06 with mine to make sure
we're not missing anything.

We've just been given an expected date when the RISC-V architecture is
expected to be added to glibc, which will allow us to safely continue
with the Fedora/RISC-V project, the date coinciding with FOSDEM when
we'll also be having a get together to talk about all things RISC-V.

Rich.
