In July 2025, Ben Lye delivered end-to-end RISC-V 64-bit support for the containers/libkrun repository, enabling virtual machines to boot and run on RISCV64 hardware. He implemented foundational architecture modules, integrated the RISC-V AIA interrupt device, and developed a 64-bit serial device and Flattened Device Tree (FDT) for the platform. Using C, Rust, and Makefile, Ben enhanced build tooling with LDFLAGS and improved cross-architecture stability, particularly addressing hvf build errors and FUSE nlink compatibility. His work deepened libkrun’s cross-platform capabilities, reduced developer friction, and broadened hardware support, reflecting strong expertise in system programming and virtualization for embedded systems.

July 2025: Delivered end-to-end RISC-V 64-bit support in libkrun, enabling boot and run of VMs on RISCV64 hardware. Implemented arch groundwork, RISCV AIA device, 64-bit FDT and serial device, and 64-bit VMM integration; enhanced build tooling with LDFLAGS and improved hvf stability. Fixed critical issues including hvf build errors and FUSE nlink for RISCV64. Result: improved cross-arch reliability, reduced developer friction, and broader hardware compatibility.
