The first RISC-V Summit, which took place last month in Santa Clara, CA, appears to be a watershed for the RISC-V ecosystem.
The technology is maturing and the ecosystem is growing fast – and that was reflected in the nature of the presentations and news announcements we saw. The accent has started to move to how the technology will be used in real life. UltraSoC’s announcement of a hardware-based lockstep solution for automotive applications is a good example, because RISC-V lacks native support for lockstep, which is strongly recommended for designs with a functional safety dimension.
