Canonical and Ubuntu’s expanding role in RISC-V’s future

As RISC-V expands its footprint across industries, Canonical is accelerating this evolution with the newest Ubuntu 24.04 LTS release, designed for optimal performance on RISC-V platforms. 

Canonical is at the forefront of the RISC-V revolution. By enabling Ubuntu on multiple RISC-V boards and contributing to open source projects, Canonical strengthens the RISC-V ecosystem, driving adoption across industries like data center, IoT, and client computing. We ensure RISC-V developers have access to secure, scalable, and reliable operating systems, empowering them to innovate faster with Ubuntu.

We are proud to collaborate with RISC-V partners to enable Ubuntu on various RISC-V use cases. We help accelerate the time-to-market by letting developers focus on their core applications without having to worry about the stability of the underlying operating system. 

This year we have collaborated with a myriad of partners in enabling their unique use cases:

• DeepComputing brings Ubuntu to the world’s first RISV-V laptop
• Canonical Partners with Microchip to Bring Ubuntu to Microchip’s PIC64GX RISC-V® MPUs
• Canonical enables Ubuntu on Milk-V Mars, a credit-card-sized RISC-V SBC
