The use of open-source stacks with the Open~RAN (Radio Access Network) architecture has been predominantly restricted to x86 and ARM architectures. This work presents the first successful porting of the srsRAN Project to RISC-V, targeting the low-cost Banana Pi BPI-F3 (SpacemiT K1 SoC) board. We describe the cross-compilation toolchain, the removal of AVX/NEON dependencies in favour of a scalar C fallback, and a preliminary performance evaluation across two 5G NR FDD scenarios. Profiling with Linux perf identifies key data-parallel physical layer (PHY) bottlenecks, establishing primary targets for RVV 1.0 vectorisation. Results show that RISC-V offers promising real-time MIMO performance for a single user, even with a scalar fallback, suggesting that vectorisation will elevate it to highly competitive levels.
