2026年5月21日 RISC-V Architecture Getting Started: From Principles to Your First Dev Board
Over the past two decades, the processor architecture market has been dominated by two players: Intel's x86 rules PCs and servers, while ARM dominates mobile and IoT. Want to design your own chip? Sorry — pay a hefty licensing fee first. RISC-V changed the game. RISC-V is a completely open-source instruction set architecture (ISA). Anyone can freely use it to design, manufacture, and sell chips or RISC-V-based products without paying licensing fees to any company. Initiated by Professor Krste Asanović and his team at UC Berkeley in 2010, it has become the hottest new force in the chip industry.
