Intel launched the Pathfinder development kit for RISC-V on August 30 to transform the way SOC architects and system software developers define new products.
Vijay Krishnan, general manager, RISC-V Ventures from Intel said in a statement, “Intel Pathfinder for RISC-V represents our ongoing commitment to accelerate the adoption of RISC-V and catalyze the ecosystem around an open-source and standards-based vision.”
It allows for a variety of RISC-V cores and other IP to be instantiated on FPGA and simulator platforms, with the ability to run industry-leading operating systems and toolchains within a unified IDE. Intel Pathfinder not only saves time in assembling and testing different IP combinations in a single environment, but it also comes with robust software and industry-standard toolchains that support seamless scaling for a broad spectrum of customers, said the vendor.
