+      <p>We have begun work on support for the RISC-V
+	architecture.</p>
+
+      <p>RISC-V is a new ISA designed to support computer
+	architecture research and education that is now set to become a
+	standard open architecture for industry implementations.</p>
+
+      <p>A minimal set of changes needed to compile the kernel
+	toolchain has been committed, along with machine headers and
+	run-time linker (rtld-elf) support.</p>
+
+      <p>All development has been happening in a separate branch,
+	with a goal of moving development to head in a few weeks.</p>
+
+      <p>At present, &os;/RISC-V boots to multiuser in the Spike
+	simulator.</p>
