just as a note if anyone stumbles upon this… its been replaced apparently with a new tool called ‘swiftlygo’ but that runs a script that fails on risc-v so its a no-go…. ---

The post above links to a swift-riscv org on github by @futurejones that has since been deleted. @ColemanCDA, I know you have cross-compiled Swift to RISC-V, any tutorial you can link to instead? I've been meaning to try RISC-V for awhile, and soon will have to [as Android RISC-V devices](https://www.andestech.com/en/2025/04/24/andes-technology-and-imagination-technologies-showcase-android-15-on-high-performance-risc-v-based-platform/) start being released. ---

thanks for the reply! ive been trying risc-v swift for a little while but wherever i go i get 404s so i’m kind of stuck… i remember getting it running previously on a different board but now i can’t replicate it… 😅 (i guess probably better i should make a new topic) ---

I have been trying this for a while but unfortunately I haven't been lucky for this. The same topic is [here](https://forums.swift.org/t/swift-on-risc-v/65905/20). I just wonder Swift on RISC-V can be only bootstrapped with cross-build? If there is some port work for [source code](https://github.com/swiftlang/swift), maybe we can help this. ---

Some [work was underway here](https://github.com/swiftlang/swift/issues/78349), you can probably try his linked repo and see if it works now. ---

I only got it working once with Buildroot and soft float [GitHub - MillerTechnologyPeru/buildroot-swift: Buildroot external to support the Swift programming language · GitHub](https://github.com/MillerTechnologyPeru/buildroot-swift)
