The Linux Foundation has thrown its weight behind the free and open source silicon (FOSSi) movement, launching an industry group dubbed the CHIPS Alliance to ‘host and curate high-quality open source code relevant to the design of silicon devices.’
The free and open source silicon (FOSSi) movement has been growing considerably in recent years: From Western Digital‘s plan to switch its storage processing products to RISC-V to Nvidia‘s interest in the platform, an increasing number of companies are investigating FOSSi as a real alternative to proprietary silicon in projects ranging from embedded to high-performance computing.
Now, the Linux Foundation is getting involved: Best known for its stewardship of the Linux kernel, the Linux Foundation also hosts a range of related free and open source software (FOSS) projects – and is now expanding into hardware with the launch of the CHIPS Alliance.
