The RISC-V Development Partner Program recognizes the investment and dedication of organizations making significant technical contributions to RISC-V.
The RISC-V Development Partner Program was created to:
- Streamline collaboration
- Advance projects the RISC-V Task Groups have identified for extension ratification
- Give development partners the opportunity to learn and be part of groundbreaking and innovative projects
- Provide a platform for public acknowledgment of their contributions to the community
This new approach to a contributor model for open standard hardware is connecting the community and driving technical initiatives forward.
RISC-V Development Partners provide:
- Maintain their membership in RISC-V International at Premier, Strategic, or Community Organization level.
- Leadership alignment through the assignment of an individual from their organization (non-student) to liaise with the RISC-V Technical Working Group to define a Statement of Work which includes defined deliverables, resources, and timeline and manage the project.
- Work on a proof of concept projects selected from the list of pilot projects. Visible results should be realized in 1 month to demonstrate progress, with the goal to expand the work to include more projects.
- Technical development on ongoing projects by supporting a minimum of three medium sized projects simultaneously after the proof of concept project.
RISC-V commits to:
- Ongoing leadership support through leadership alignment and via the RISC-V Technical Working Group.
- Technical alignment and oversight in scoping and progressing projects that align with RISC-V technical strategy and priorities.
- Public recognition including amplification of project success and key deliverables.
- Additional support and recognition where appropriate.
