In addition to open software such as the Linux operating system, open source hardware architecture is becoming increasingly popular. Forerunners are reduced instruction set computers (RISC-V) that can be freely designed, manufactured and distributed using an open source license. The open instruction set architecture offers many advantages: In addition to dropping patent fees, RISC-V flourishes above all by its standardization, extensibility and vendor independence. As a result, the processors are considered to be future-proof.
