While both Arm and the x86 ecosystems are extensively supported, the same can't be said for RISC-V. It was certainly a big moment for RISC-V in October this year when the RVA23 profile was ratified.

RISC-V, unlike x86 and Arm, is completely open source and can be used without any licensing fees. This makes the technology more flexible, cheaper, and customizable for manufacturers. In fact ...

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.

While RISC-V’s encroachment into the ARM space has mostly been with embedded systems to date, there is a reasonable chance that with the concerns for ARM’s long-term viability increasing ...

Linus Torvalds has just announced the release of Linux 6.13 on the Linux Kernel Mailing List: So nothing horrible or ...

The only problem with ARM is that it’s licensed, so if you want to go even further down the open-source path the RISC-V instruction set is the next logical step. Now at least one mainline Linux ...

Imagination Technologies has decided to exit the RISC-V CPU market to redirect its resources to the development of its GPU ...

While some people suggested the findings were a sign of weakness in RISC-V, most others disagreed. “We’ve never been able to do this study for Intel or Arm,” he said. “They might have the same ...
