Thus, The Linux Foundation, the non-profit organization enabling innovation with open source, and RISC-V International, the non-profit corporation behind the RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA), have released two new free online training courses to help you get started with the RISC-V ISA. The courses are available on edX.org. With the recent rise of interest and deployment of RISC-V cores, systems-on-chips (SoCs), developer boards, and software and tools, there's a real need to empower individuals to implement and use RISC-V. In order to help meet that demand, these free online courses...

One of the charming aspects of RISC-V is that it’s so… flexible. As an open-source processor specification, absolutely anyone can use it, modify it, and commercialize it. There are no licensing fees, no rules, and no compatibility test. It’s the Wild West of processors. Up to a point.  If you want to call your processor…

RISC-V Is On a Roll. Is It Ready to Take a Seat Alongside Intel, AMD, and Arm? RISC-V International's CTO says the open source ISA is bound for the data center as CPU in everything from IoT to HPC. RISC-V, the emerging open source instruction set architecture for processors that have so far been used mostly as accelerators, is suddenly on a roll and appears about ready to become competitive in the CPU arena. The most activity has been in the hacker space. A year ago about the only way to play around with a RISC-V processor was to spend $1,000 for a development board from the RISC-V-...
