The first SoC field programmable gate array (FPGA) to support the royalty-free RISC-V open Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) has entered volume production, marking a major milestone in the evolution of embedded processors. As customers continue to adopt PolarFire SoC FPGAs at a rapid pace, Microchip Technology Inc. announces the production qualification for the MPFS250T and the previously announced MPFS025T. Microchip’s Mi-V ecosystem has also continued to streamline RISC-V adoption while enabling a new class of smaller, more power-efficient and less-costly industrial, IoT and other edge-compute products.
