Esperanto Technologies, Google, SiFive and Western Digital, all committed to both open source hardware and continued momentum behind the free and open RISC-V architecture.” To the question, “How does CHIPS Alliance relate to the RISC-V Foundation?” the CHIPS Alliance FAQ explains, “CHIPS Alliance aims to host implementation efforts around RISC-V architecture (RISC-V is only for ISAs and will not host implementations). RISC-V will help set up an ISA instruction set, but will then need open sourced chip designs; CHIPS Alliance will create that open source standard computing design. Members and participants of CHIPS Alliance will then be able to download source code and compile binaries to get Linux running and offer a fully functional CPU or SoC design with RISC-V.” To read more, please visit: https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/why-we-need-our-nonprofits.]]>
