Did anyone work on getting Swift usable on RISC-V yet? In particular the ESP-C3 looks like an interesting target.

I've build Swift for RISCV64 and Buildroot. The caveat is that I only was able to compile targeting Soft Float.

In the previous release, I added flags to the Swift frontend, but I found that there were standard flags later.
Now I use -Xcc -mhard-float, -Xcc -mfloat-abi=hard flags to tell the compiler to generate hard float instruction and ABI. I don't know if this would work in RISCV64.

I did try that, it was an issue of Clang assuming soft float for Swift when specifying the triple. Wasn't a dealbreaker for me.

This got me going on a chill Saturday morning. So good
I'm still going to learn C on a fundamental level before trying anything embedded with Swift. Would you agree that it is vital to know where and why Swift came from?

I'd like to encourage anyone interested in embedded development to check out Embedded Swift, where a vision for a possible first class support for embedded programming is presented.

Here, I am an embedded EE engineer, interested in working with Swift lang. :)
