RISC-V support in Android just got a big setback ( www.androidauthority.com )

Android will continue to support RISC-V. Due to the rapid rate of iteration, we are not ready to provide a single supported image for all vendors. This particular series of patches removes RISC-V support from the Android Generic Kernel Image (GKI).

Basically, they still support it. But, won't provide a GKI. So, vendors will need to do more work if they intend to run android on a RISC-v CPU.

Remember that presentation where Google promised everyone that we’re firmly standing behind this architecture, so we encourage our partners to invest?

Google doesn’t have a great track record with standing behind products.

That said, I think we’ll see some degree of support eventually.
