RISC-V on the Verge of Broad Adoption

The ISA’s core specifications, on track for final ratification by the 200+ member RISC-V Foundation in the next few months, are frozen so that software developed for compliant processors today will still run on comparable processors developed years from now. Creating a custom processor with RISC-V

The RISC-V instruction set architecture is an open framework that allows design of a customized processor that can leverage tools and software libraries created for the standard versions. Open Source Hardware Benefits Procurement Practices

The advent of processor options based the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) may delight electronics engineers and designers, but open-source hardware presents a number of opportunities for enhanced supply chain and procurement efforts as well.
