SiFive Offers RISC-V Platforms

摘要

The first company to form around the new RISC-V instruction set, SiFive plans to develop and deliver customer-specific chips. Founded by the UC Berkeley team that developed several RISC-V CPU designs, the company announced two "platforms" that act as a framework on which customers can build their designs. The Freedom E300 platform is a generic microcontroller design, whereas the Freedom U500 is a powerful embedded processor with up to eight CPU cores.
