The Android Common Kernel is about to remove support for the RISC-V architecture, which is a big setback for RISC-V support in Android.

    Fourth to last line in the article:

    "While the company’s statement doesn’t go into detail about the rationale behind this decision, it’s good to get confirmation that RISC-V support in Android isn’t being killed off entirely. "

      The quote of “removing RISC-V from generic kernel images” makes a lot of sense

      It only kind of works on arm64 right now, trying to add a whole new ISA seems rushed

      If they make exceptions for customized kernels for other architectures for now, that seems fine
