Description

Hey guys,

is there already support for RISC-V images?
I tried to analyze a Debian RISC-V image, but I get e.g. with the plugin pslist only an empty list which I would not expect. The debug output compared to a Debian AMD64 image looks almost the same.

Thanks a lot

Research direction

Reproduce the report with the Debian RISC-V image and the pslist plugin, then compare its output and debug output with the Debian AMD64 image. Determine what support would need to change for pslist to return processes; no repository files or tests are identified in the issue, so completion criteria require maintainer guidance.
