Accepted Talks:
Bringing Debian to the First RISC-V Laptop: A Step Forward in Open Hardware Computing
DC-ROMA Laptop I is the world’s first commercially available RISC-V laptop, developed by DeepComputing in collaboration with partners across the open source ecosystem. Fully compatible with Debian, DC-ROMA demonstrates the power of combining an open instruction set architecture (ISA) with an open source operating system. This session will introduce how Debian was brought to life on RISC-V hardware, and what it means for the future of fully open computing devices. We’ll share the development journey, the challenges of porting Debian to a new RISC-V platform, and the importance of maintaining open standards across both hardware and software. The talk will also highlight the collaboration with Debian developers and community efforts to improve user experience, performance, and compatibility—making Debian on RISC-V not only possible, but practical.
