The RISC-V instruction set architecture must be carried out of the academic circle of colleges into the industry in applications to be successful. Prof. Robert Oshana from NXP Semiconductors knows how practical entry can be made for companies.
The move from research to industrial application can be an obstacle that should not be underestimated. In particular, industrial companies face the challenge of adapting to existing, established processes and quality standards.
A practical approach to implementing the open instruction set architecture RISC-V has been developed by Prof. Robert Oshana, who is Vice President of Software Research and Development for the microcontroller and microprocessor business of NXP Semiconductors. He will also speak at the embedded world Conference 2019 . He opened Session 5 “RISC-V” on 26 February 2019 with his presentation “RISC-V Practical Industry Approach to Getting Started with This Technology”.
Prof. Oshana, what is the biggest challenge for companies and developers who want to develop a SoC with RISC-V for the first time?
Robert Oshana: In many ways, the implementation of a RISC-V core is similar to the process of implementing a different hardware IP.
