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.
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.
