I used the griscv BSP. If I read it correctly, it should be a rv32imafd processor. I built the BSP from current master and used the waf build system to build it.
I also just tried (with qemu-5.2.0-rc2) the following command using bios instead of kernel:

qemu-system-riscv32 -nographic -machine virt -m 2G -nographic -net none -serial stdio -monitor none -bios /tmp/riscv/rtems/build/riscv/griscv/testsuites/samples/ticker.exe

I still don't get any output. It might very well be that the serial or monitor configuration is not correct. These options are always a bit mysterious to me.
FWIW if I use "-serial stdio -monitor none" I can close qemu with Ctrl+C. If I use "-serial mon:stdio" Ctrl+C does not work.
Using qemu-system-riscv64 doesn't change anything.
