When the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 came out, it didn’t take long for someone to figure out crazy uses for its RISC-V Hazard3 CPU cores. After all, folks figured out how to pull off amazing feats with the original Pico, like emulating the Macintosh 128K. The RISC-V CPU is more commonly used in application-class processors than microcontrollers, so one developer set to work installing Linux on the RISC-V cores. Here’s how he pulled it off.
