Granted, dektop computers are expensive now, like https://hackaday.com/2019/02/11/building-a-risc-v-desktop/
But at least they are already possible.

My general experience looking- some years ago- at FPC and Lazarus on various platforms was that once the compiler was OK Lazarus just worked.
The issues tended to be (a) oversights in the compiler/RTL/FCL makefiles where a particular library wasn't built for that platform and (b) issues relating to endianness or alignment (most of which got sorted when I was whining at the developers about SPARC support, except possibly for an alignment issue in lhelp).
I definitely had Lazarus running natively on SPARC (Linux and SunOS/Solaris), ARM (Linux on an NSLU2 "Slug") and possibly on MIPS (Linux). The fact that it could be built and would run on a Slug, albeit with lots of swapspace, suggests that it would probably build and run on a Linux-capable RISC-V board which will almost certainly have more resources... perhaps I should say /proportionately/ more resources, allowing for the bloat that's affected almost all code over the last ten years.

There are a few members who are interested, so keep following and posting!

The availability of RISCV development kits for £10 and chips for around $0.10 in quantity might be a game changer.

I'll report back when I have time, but if Dave can do it... :-)
