Intro Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) constantly face the challenge of delivering cutting-edge products that meet the evolving demands of their customers. In the world of technology, where innovation is the key to staying ahead, the choice of computing solutions plays a pivotal role in shaping the success of OEMs. In the past OEMs have relied […]

RISC-V Summit report: Meta leads the way for custom processors

Slide from conference RISC-V Summit 2023 by Meta in their keynote

As a regular attendee of the RISC-V Summit US, I’ve come to appreciate the unique blend of cutting-edge technology discussions and the sunny California weather. Indeed, a welcome departure for a Central European like myself, accustomed to slightly different climates.  Of course, I attended lots of technical sessions as well as the keynotes. I could […]

It’s all about RISC-V code size

code-size-blog-benefits

Here at Codasip we’re passionate about reducing the code size of our RISC-V cores for our customers, but why? Are we not making the core larger and more complex as we add instructions to improve the situation? In short the answer is yes we are, any instructions added to the processor increase the size, complexity, […]

The first-ever RISC-V Summit Europe will be held in Barcelona in June 2023! Enjoying the city at this time of the year is pretty amazing. The tapas, the beach, Las Ramblas, Gaudi’s architecture… We know. We will be there. As the European RISC-V leader. And here are 5 more reasons for you to be there […]

How to reduce the risk when making the shift to RISC-V

With the Intel® Pathfinder for RISC-V* program, Intel launched a development environment that enables companies of all sizes to start their RISC-V journey. Codasip makes its L31 RISC-V embedded core available to the embedded community through the program. We asked Vijay Krishnan, Intel Corporation, and Rupert Baines, CMO at Codasip, to tell us more about […]

5 good things about RISC-V

RISC-V has been around for some time now, and if you are here it’s because you have heard of it. But perhaps you still need to be convinced that it is the future? If you still wonder about its potential and benefits, here are 5 good things about RISC-V. 1. RISC-V IS AN OPEN STANDARD Let’s […]

Collaboration leading the way for broad RISC-V adoption

We recently announced a partnership with Intel as part of the launch of the Intel® Pathfinder for RISC-V, making leading RISC-V technology more accessible for prototyping, production design or research purposes using Intel FPGAs. Intel Pathfinder for RISC-V allows for a variety of RISC-V cores and other IP to be instantiated on FPGA platforms, with the ability to […]

Architecture licenses for RISC-V Custom Compute

black and white chip design to illustrate a blog on RISC architectures

I was discussing with a colleague about the concept of architecture license in RISC-V. I realized that, in the open-source world, it can be a little tricky to grasp. In a traditional processor IP model, there is a clear distinction between an off-the-shelf IP license that gives some level of configuration but no customization, and […]

Closing the Gap in SoC Open Standards with RISC-V

Closing gap in open standards with RISC-V

The semiconductor industry has changed hugely in the last 3 or 4 decades. Around 1980 some larger semiconductor companies were strongly vertically integrated, not only designed and manufactured their products, but even made their own processing equipment and in-house EDA tools. Today almost every semiconductor company uses 3rd party equipment for IC manufacturing and designs […]
