Last week, the RISC-V Foundation held a workshop in Silicon Valley. The purpose was to update developers on the progress of the technology and also let some of the partners talk about their own developments/products. By most measures, the workshop was deemed a success. I spoke to Rick O’Connor, the Executive Director of the RISC-V Foundation in this week’s Five Minutes with…discussion to see if he agreed. Rick also went through one of the key announcements that were made last week, and we talked about where the RISC-V instruction-set architecture (ISA) is headed, including its tradeoffs. https://riscv.org/ https://riscv.org/risc-v-isa/
