Do you run anything on a RISC-V processor? (supermeter.social)

Lately I've been really liking the idea of having something hosted on a RISC-V machine. RISC-V is a non-proprietary instruction set that is a competitor to ARM. The idea of having a something running on an open source operating system, running on an open standard CPU, served from my house, gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

I was under the impression that most Linux distributions were unstable on RISC-V. Turns out, I'm wrong about that. From a quick search, the following have official Debian images:

and the Pine64 Star64 has a community-maintained Armbian image.

Does anyone here have a RISC-V single-board computer doing anything practical for you?

I've been wanting to run things on a RISCV processor but the feedback from hardware pins is extremely bad as of now. It is improving gradually.

Once a clean SPI interface is made which can be used simply with pin connections, then more layers of compiler, binary utils and OS etc. can be built on top of it.
