Dan is joined by Marc Evans, director of business development and technology at Andes. Marc has over twenty years of experience in the use of CPU, DSP, and Specialized IP in SoCs from his prior positions at Lattice Semiconductor, Ceva, and Tensilica. During his early career, Marc was a processor architect, making significant contributions to multiple microprocessors and systems at Tensilica, HP, Rambus, Rise Technology, and Amdahl.
Dan discusses the significant focus of Andes on commercialization of RISC-V with Marc. He also discusses the upcoming Andes RISC-V CON. Marc explains that Andes does this conference at a time that doesn’t conflict with key events done by RISC-V International. The idea is to provide a broad coverage of the RISC-V movement throughout the year. Marc provides an overview of the event, which includes engineering-level presentations along with partner contributions, strategic presentations and a new Developer’s Track, which provides a deep dive into key areas. There are also fireside chats, high-profile talks from industry luminaries and the opportunity to network with conference attendees.
