An open, rolling Linux distribution project for RISC-V
openRuyi is an open source Linux distribution, initiated and long-term maintained by Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences, to provide a technical foundation for the RISC-V software ecosystem and real-world adoption.
Designed natively for RISC-V, it integrates new RISC-V features early and helps move them upstream, giving developers and industry partners a practical platform to build, validate, and deliver RISC-V software.
- Rolling releases for real-world development and validation
- Early integration of new RISC-V features and upstream collaboration
- Ongoing optimization for cloud-native, AI, and modern Linux systems
- Strong focus on performance, security, and compatibility
- RVCK RISC-V Common Kernel Project
- openRuyi-Tutorials Beginner-friendly learning materials and hands-on examples for the RISC-V Linux ecosystem.
We welcome hardware vendors, upstream developers, maintainers, researchers, and open source contributors working to advance the RISC-V software ecosystem together.
