Embedded World 2018 showcased the incredible momentum of the RISC-V ecosystem. Throughout the show the RISC-V Foundation booth – which featured pods from member companies Antmicro, GreenWaves Technologies, Imperas, Syntacore, UltraSoC and VectorBlox – was packed with attendees buzzing about the exciting announcements, solutions and demos from member companies. The RISC-V Foundation and its members participated in a number of speaking sessions and held a scavenger hunt for RISC-V enthusiasts who were eager to win RISC-V based boards and tools. Check out our recap of the show below.
Speaking Sessions
On the first day of Embedded World, the RISC-V Class featured 10 presentations with representatives from Dover Microsystems, ETH Zurich, GreenWaves Technologies, Imperas, Mentor Graphics, Microsemi, the RISC-V Foundation, Syntacore, UltraSoC, University of Bologna and University of Colorado Boulder. Additionally, Microsemi hosted talks at its booth about the RISC-V ISA and Microsemi’s Mi-V RISC-V ecosystem.
