Thanks for your offer, that's great to read you have real hardware at hand for testing! :) > Is there also aleready some prebuild image even unofficial ? The Hardware section of the wiki page [1] lists some of the available boards, and links to their own InstallingDebianOn wiki pages. There are such pages for the HiFive Unleashed [2] and Unmatched [3] at the moment, in case these were your boards. I saw some unofficial images available at least for the Unmatched.

I guess it goes through > Salsa ? Strictly regarding the RISC-V Debian port and its associated team, I think most of the information is available on, or reachable from, the RISC-V wiki page [4]. If you're strictly interested in ports, you most likely want to know how to work with the Bug Tracker System [5]. As you will test packages, you will encounter bugs which may (or may not) be specific to riscv64 and report them with `reportbug`, and maybe send a patch alongside in case you find a way to fix the issue. I find that the porter roll call sent by Graham Inggs lately [6] gives a good overview of the tasks related to porting.

The canonical mean to report issues remains the BTS though. > Thanks in advance for pointing me the good quickstart so i can do it > according to procedures.

It might be a good idea to be aware of what it involves at both ends, even though most of the details involving uploads are a concern for DDs specifically. If by chance you were interested in doing more general work in Debian, the Join [8] page is a good starting point (although perhaps not a "quick" start guide).
