Navigating the RISC-V Ecosystem

Inside Electronics

There has been a lot of attention paid to the RISC-V development community and IP ecosystem, with many companies starting to explore and adopt the open-source solution in their products and processes. Designed for a wide range of uses, the base instruction set has a fixed length of 32-bit naturally aligned instructions, and the architecture supports variable length extensions where each instruction can be any number of 16-bit parcels in length to support small embedded systems as well as large-scale computing.

In this episode, we talk with Bill Wong, Senior Content Director for Electronic Design and Microwaves & RF, about where RISC-V is today and where we think it may be going.
