Date:February 18, 2020
RISC-V’s Supervisor Binary Interface “SBI” is the interface between the platform-specific firmware and the running operating system or hypervisor for interacting with the supervisor execution environment in the higher privileged mode. The Linux kernel has been working to support a newer version of the SBI that is more extensible moving forward.article: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=RISC-V-Linux-SBI-v0.2-Continues

Date:February 18, 2020
Domain-specific accelerators (DSAs) are becoming increasingly common in systems-on-chip (SoCs). A DSA provides higher performance per watt than a general-purpose processor by optimizing the specialized function it implements. Examples of DSAs include compression/decompression units, random number generators and network packet processors. A DSA is typically connected to the core complex using a standard IO interconnect, such as an AXI bus.article: https://www.sifive.com/blog/fast-access-to-accelerators-enabling-optimized-data-transfer-with-risc-v
