RISC-V as a First-Class Citizen in Kernel CI – Part II (RISC-V Mentorship)

This mentorship project aims to elevate RISC-V to a first-class architecture within the KernelCI project, aligning its support and testing capabilities with those of more established architectures. KernelCI is a community-driven, open-source testing infrastructure focused on ensuring the quality and long-term stability of the Linux kernel. This project will focus on bridging gaps in RISC-V integration, creating a replicable CI pipeline, and enabling consistent, comprehensive testing for RISC-V in KernelCI.

Learning Objectives:

The learning objectives for this mentorship include a strong introduction to open-source culture and collaborative workflows, focusing on CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform and Ansible. Mentees will develop hands-on skills in kernel development for the RISC-V architecture, containerization, and cloud infrastructure management. Additionally, they will enhance their soft skills through regular communication and collaboration, gaining valuable experience in open-source project management and professional networking. This mentorship aims to provide a well-rounded foundation in both technical and interpersonal skills essential for a career in open-source and kernel engineering.
