Using SSH access on RISC-V instance

After getting SSH command and credentials from Cloud-V administrator, users can log in to RISC-V instance and start development like any Linux machine without GUI.

Setting up VScodium with RISC-V

It may not be convinient for users to use terminal editors (like Vim and Nano) if they are not accustomed.

At present VScode remote extension does not have support for RISC-V architecture but VScodium supports it.

This section explains how you can set up VScodium on x86 machine to get remote development access to RISC-V compute instance (assuming both the machines have SSH installed).

  1. Install VScodium from this link
  2. Install Open Remote - SSH Extension from jeanp413

Open Remote - SSH

  1. Use Ctrl+Shift+p to open command pallet and search remote Remote-SSH: Connect to host...
  2. Enter username, publicly accessible IP and port of the compute instance which you want to connect to.
