+# RISC-V (Linux)
+
+Julia has experimental support for 64-bit RISC-V (RV64) processors running
+Linux. This file provides general guidelines for compilation, in addition to
+instructions for specific devices.
+
+A list of [known issues](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/labels/system:riscv)
+for RISC-V is available. If you encounter difficulties, please create an issue
+including the output from `cat /proc/cpuinfo`.
+
+
+## Compiling Julia
+
+For now, Julia will need to be compiled entirely from source, i.e., including
+all of its dependencies. This can be accomplished with the following
+`Make.user`:
+
+```make
+USE_BINARYBUILDER := 0
+```
+
+Additionally, it is required to indicate what architecture, and optionally which
+CPU to build for. This can be done by setting the `MARCH` and `MCPU` variables
+in `Make.user`
+
+The `MARCH` variable needs to be set to a RISC-V ISA string, which can be found by
+looking at the documentation of your device, or by inspecting `/proc/cpuinfo`. Only
+use flags that your compiler supports, e.g., run `gcc -march=help` to see a list of
+supported flags. A common value is `rv64gc`, which is a good starting point.
+
+The `MCPU` variable is optional, and can be used to further optimize the
+generated code for a specific CPU. If you are unsure, it is recommended to leave
+it unset. You can find a list of supported values by running `gcc --target-help`.
+
+For example, if you are using a StarFive VisionFive2, which contains a JH7110
+processor based on the SiFive U74, you can set these flags as follows:
+
+```make
+MARCH := rv64gc_zba_zbb
+MCPU := sifive-u74
+```
+
+If you prefer a portable build, you could use:
+
+```make
+MARCH := rv64gc
+
+# also set JULIA_CPU_TARGET to the expanded form of rv64gc
+# (it normally copies the value of MCPU, which we don't set)
+JULIA_CPU_TARGET := generic-rv64,i,m,a,f,d,zicsr,zifencei,c
+```
+
+### Cross-compilation
+
+A native build on a RISC-V device may take a very long time, so it's also
+possible to cross-compile Julia on a faster machine.
+
+First, get a hold of a RISC-V cross-compilation toolchain that provides
+support for C, C++ and Fortran. This can be done by checking-out the
+[riscv-gnu-toolchain](https://github.com/riscv-collab/riscv-gnu-toolchain)
+repository and building it as follows:
+
+```sh
+sudo mkdir /opt/riscv && sudo chown $USER /opt/riscv
+./configure --prefix=/opt/riscv --with-languages=c,c++,fortran
+make linux -j$(nproc)
+```
+
+Then, install the QEMU user-mode emulator for RISC-V, along with `binfmt`
+support to enable execution of RISC-V binaries on the host machine. The
+exact steps depend on your distribution, e.g., on Arch Linux it involves
+installing the `qemu-user-static` and `qemu-user-static-binfmt` packages.
+Note that to actually execute RISC-V binaries, QEMU will need to be able to
+find the RISC-V system root, which can be achieved by setting the
+`QEMU_LD_PREFIX` environment variable to the path of the root filesystem.
+
+Finally, compile Julia with the following `Make.user` variables (in addition to
+the ones from the previous section):
+
+```make
+XC_HOST=riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu
+OS=Linux
+export QEMU_LD_PREFIX=/opt/riscv/sysroot
+```
+
+Note that you will have to execute `make` with `PATH` set to include the
+cross-compilation toolchain, e.g., by running:
+
+```sh
+PATH=/opt/riscv/bin:$PATH make -j$(nproc)
+```
+
+Because of the RISC-V sysroot we use being very barren, you may need to
+add additional libraries that the Julia build system currently expects
+to be available system-wide. For example, the build currently relies on
+a system-provided `libz`, so you may need to copy this library from the
+Julia build into the system root:
+
+```sh
+make -C deps install-zlib
+cp -v usr/lib/libz.*   /opt/riscv/sysroot/usr/lib
+cp -v usr/include/z*.h /opt/riscv/sysroot/usr/include
+```
