Is there any documentation that shows how to add hardware support for new boards? I have been able to find mentions of it being made easier towards the end of 2018, but I haven’t found any docs on it. For instance, if somebody wanted to add support for the RISC-V based HiFive1 (original or Rev B), where are the instructions on how to integrate that addition into XOD?
