Workshop Proceedings & Recap

Thanks to everyone who attended the 7th RISC-V Workshop! With 515 attendees this was our biggest event yet, showcasing the incredible growth and momentum of the RISC-V ecosystem.
To view the Workshop proceedings, including the slides and video from every session, please visit: https://riscv.org/2017/12/7th-risc-v-workshop-proceedings/
We were excited to see the news unveiled by member companies announcing new solutions and partnerships, and a strong commitment to the RISC-V ISA. Below you’ll find a recap of these announcements and highlights of the media coverage that has appeared in various publications such as EE Times, eWeek and Forbes.
Sharing a special thanks to the Western Digital team for hosting the Workshop and doing a fantastic job of preparing for and helping us run the event.
We would also like to give a shout out to Antmicro and SiFive for their collaboration in designing the RISC-V Electronic Badge for speakers and press.
