Are there any plans for porting KolibriOS into RISC-V?

I know that KolibriOS remains barely more than an experimental OS / a curiosity at this point but that's mostly because, in the x86 escosystem, alternative OS have always been at disadvantage due the obscurity model / lack of freely available information on new developments (why else would it lack WIFI support in 2022?).

Thing is, you can count on RISC-V based devices hitting the market quite soon and that software ecosystem is virgin at this point. One of the promises of the RISC-V is to be open and license free, which means documentation on modern hardware will become readily available. So why not take advantage of this historic opportunity to give the world a new and refreshing development path, distinct from the proprietary model of Windows and the chaotic world of Linux?

1. Lack of funding - developers need money just to exist.
2. x86 and x86-64 platforms are available to everyone, other platforms need to be purchased separately. Emulators can't always help. Let's go back to point 1.

However, the RISC-V software ecosystem is still in its infancy, so you shouldn't expect any RISC-V-based products to be on the market anytime soon. The RISC-V claims to be open and license free, which will lead to more accessible documentation of cutting-edge hardware. Instead of letting this moment pass you by, why not seize it to show the world a new and exciting way to produce software, one that is not based on the closed, proprietary paradigm of Windows or the anarchic ecosystem of Linux?

Linux was built on GNU GCC compiler.
KolibriOS depends (more than 100%) on FASM compiler.
FASM is the essence of this project
