Adopting New Methods For Faster Development Of RISC-V based SoCs

Monday, February 3rd, 2020

The growth of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, Internet of Things (IoT), virtual/augmented reality and of course, the various technologies for the automotive industry has led to a new surge in the development of semiconductor chips. The growth had been stunted in part due to the considerable cost involved in using the processor core, which forms the heart of most SoCs. The enormous cost, risk, development time and necessary volumes of developing a processor, has kept this lucrative industry in the hands of just a few companies. That is, until now.

With the development of the open source RISC-V ISA from UC Berkeley labs, based on the new computing needs in various power and performance dimensions, the semiconductor industry is once again at the cusp of embracing an incredible surge in innovation. Over the last few years, the interest in RISC-V has been gaining steam with commercial implementations and adoption growing rapidly.
