The Oz64 is a low-end RISC-V single-board computer (SBC). It costs $12.99, which gets you one Arm A53 core, two 1 GHz C906 ...

Adding custom extensions means taking ownership of both hardware design and the corresponding software toolchain.

Linux head honcho Linus Torvalds has put a kernel developer "on notice" for waiting until the eleventh hour to supply a patch ...

RISC-V, which was born a decade ago in a laboratory at the University of California at Berkeley, an academic effort of professors David Patterson and Krste Asanović, is basically the Linux of ...

So Krste Asanovic (a founder of SiFive), Andrew Waterman, Yunsup Lee, and David Patterson created RISC-V. They built their first chip in 2011. In 2014, they announced it and gave it to the community.

RISC-V is advancing in high-performance computing, with new server processors optimized for AI, video streaming, and cloud applications, supported by cloud providers like Scaleway Labs.

RISC-V International asks vendors to voluntarily disclose usage, but does not compel such disclosure. For that reason, "It'll be hard to see concrete evidence" of the extent of RISC-V usage, said ...

RISC-V is an instruction set architecture for processors that offers innovative operational mechanisms. Learn about its background and the advantages it brings.

They’ve developed the VEGAboard, a dev board with two RISC-V chips and Arduino-style pin headers. The VEGAboard comes loaded with an NXP chip which combines an ARM Cortex-M0 and Cortex-M4.

HiFive Unmatched: RISC-V Development Ready At $665, the HiFive Unmatched from SiFive isn’t a mainstream single board PC or hobbyist curiosity.

All this is entertaining stuff, but it becomes of much more interest when viewed as part of an ongoing chain of projects working on no-MMU Linux for low-end RISC-V microcontrollers.

RISC-V on Android will be a long journey. Credit: Lars Bergstrom One of Bergstrom's slides featured the above "to-do" list, which included a ton of major Android components.
