If you prefer to run a more recent Linux kernel instead of the
122+
vendor-provided kernel, you can append the `--tree mainline` option.
123+
124+
Although we do not recommend it, you can also enable support for vector
125+
instructions with the `--enable-vector` flag. Be aware that this feature
126+
implements an unratified version of RISC-V vector instructions (RVV 0.7.1)
127+
which requires specific development efforts.
128+
129+
For a comprehensive list of options, refer to `rv1 update-kernel --help`.

If you're updating from kernel version `5.10.113-scw0` or lower, note that
136+
newer kernels disable vector instructions by default. Refer to the above
137+
documentation if you still wish to keep them enabled.
