I don't buy it. Having Cadence and Synopsys involved it is like DARPA invites Mathworks to do an open-source version of Matlab.

We've been thinking on this. It is definitely a though issue but it is not different from the opportunity of decapping a commercial chip and try to get IP from there. There a three…

Guessing following cases: 1) Education 2) Synthesized analog functions: PLL, ADC, DAC, Filters, etc. 3) Do your own standard cells using a new kind of logic 4) Proof-of-concept for…

Good point. We are trying to cover some mid-end apps too. Basically the reason is we are planning to implement some functionality on-the-chip, such as a USB 3.1 PHY which requires …

The current measured chip v.1 of the Open-V has not USB PHY. We are using a USB-to-SPI cable to program the micro. However, we are developing a low-speed USV PHY: PCS and PMA; and …

C is supported. We are using the riscv.org toolchain considering that the micro has a RV32IM set. An arduino bootloader will make the micro Arduino-compatible .

RV32IM with interruptions capability. Sure, we will add this at the CS site.

We are working on it. Please tune at https://twitter.com/onchipUIS

As the current ARM microcontrollers (Atmel SAMD11-21), we will load a bootloader that will allow connection/translation to Arduino software.

Not yet, working on first prototypes. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CrZDrWEWcAAueij.jpg

Programming examples, registers documentation and Schematics will be provided. Remember the old National Semiconductor Databooks? We would release the complete design data, so user…

The guys behind RISC-V have implemented some chips. A big brother of pico in 28nm is reported at https://aspire.eecs.berkeley.edu/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/... Has anyone try to s…
