SoC is based on royalty-free RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA)
In a new era of computing driven by the convergence of 5G, machine learning and the internet of things (IoT), embedded developers need the richness of Linux-based operating systems. These must meet deterministic system requirements in ever lower power, thermally constrained design environments—all while addressing critical security and reliability requirements. Traditional system-on-chip (SoC) field programmable […]
RISC-V users to get performance boost with compiler, toolchain, and core combo
IAR Systems and Andes, the prominent CPU IP provider, announced that they have formed a partnership in order to deliver powerful development tools for Andes’ RISC-V-based solutions. IAR Systems provides the C/C++ compiler and debugger toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench. The toolchain offers leading code performance for size and speed, as well as extensive debug functionality […]
Lockstep monitor supports any processor architecture or subsystem
UltraSoC has launched the UltraSoC Lockstep Monitor, a hardware-based, scalable solution that helps functional safety significantly by checking that the cores at the heart of a critical system are operating reliably, safely and securely. UltraSoC’s flexible IP supports all common lockstep / redundancy architectures, including full dual-redundant lockstep, split/lock, master/checker, and voting with any number […]
Linux Foundation and RISC-V Foundation partner to accelerate RISC-V ISA
The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, and the RISC-V Foundation, a non-profit corporation controlled by its members to drive the adoption and implementation of the free and open RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA), announced a joint collaboration agreement to accelerate open source development and adoption of the RISC-V ISA. The […]
