Today, Google and Qualcomm announced an extension of their partnership to bring RISC-V-based systems-on-chips (SoCs) to market with support for Wear OS, a version of Android for smartwatches and ...
Open source software rightly gets a lot of attention; open source hardware has its part to play too. One development drawing increasing attention in both technical and executive circles is RISC-V, ...
RISC-V is an open-source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) that rapidly transforms the CPU design and development landscape. Unlike proprietary ISAs, RISC-V allows free access to architecture ...
I was discussing with a colleague about the concept of architecture license in RISC-V. I realized that, in the open-source world, it can be a little tricky to grasp. In a traditional processor IP ...
Despite the benefits, engineers discuss why RISC-V isn’t quite ready for primetime for their applications—although the architecture’s primary challenge may be gaining mindshare among engineers. The ...
