Can RISC-V SBCs use ARM software? (sopuli.xyz)

Technically both are RISC based but probably they are way different in implementation. I'm thinking about buying a RISC-V SBC, and I just want to be sure about compatiblity with running ARM based software.

Building for RISC-V also means updating compilers to target RISC-V. Optimizations that are available on x86 may not be the same as what is available as on RISC-V platforms, so it may take a while for performance and support to improve.
