As part of World RISC-V Days, DeepComputing and Red Hat co-hosted a dynamic half-day, hands-on workshop in Boston — bringing real RISC-V hardware directly into the hands of developers.
Hosted at the Red Hat office on February 27, the workshop welcomed around 50 attendees for an interactive deep dive into the growing RISC-V ecosystem.
Participants had the opportunity to experience the DC-ROMA RISC-Vlaptop firsthand. Built on the modular Framework Laptop 13 chassis, the DC-ROMA platform demonstrates the flexibility and practical potential of RISC-V in personal computing.
For the hands-on portion, up to 10 laptops were made available (shared among participants), allowing attendees to walk through:
The interactive format gave developers a practical understanding of what it means to run Fedora on emerging RISC-V hardware — not just in theory, but in real workflows.
The day began at 10 a.m. with presentations interwoven between technical exploration sessions.
Matt St. Onge from Red Hat shared perspectives on RISC-V’s strategic importance and Fedora’s ongoing support for the architecture.
Yuning Liang discussed DeepComputing’s journey in building RISC-V laptops and advancing practical, developer-ready platforms.
Together, the sessions covered:
This workshop format was first introduced at RISC-V Summit North America 2025, where it received strong positive feedback. The Boston edition continued that momentum, reinforcing the importance of hands-on collaboration in accelerating ecosystem maturity.
The momentum behind RISC-V laptops continues to build — and now you can secure your place in the next chapter.
DeepComputing has officially opened first-batch reservations for the DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard III, our next-generation RISC-V platform with RVA23 support, designed for developers, early adopters, and ecosystem contributors.
This reservation gives you priority access to the initial production batch before broader availability.
If you’re ready to:
Reserve your unit now and secure your place in the first release.
