abandon *innovating* with RISCV, yes. > Pity that's your only option. I wonder if I should tell others about this. the circumstances are pretty unique, so it's up to you. they are: * a Mass Volume commercial product * a Mass Volume LIBRE product * a Mass Volume Libre product where the business opportunity is FULL TRANSPARENCY * a paramount need to innovate BEYOND that which is dictated in a fascist manner by the RISCV Foundation (i.e. they refused to follow Trademark Law's requirements) very few other products have these requirements. * a closed secretive company that is developing a proprietary extension may do so as a CUSTOM extension. there is no chance of the extension becoming public. * an "open source" product simply implenenting EXISTING standards without ISA innovation clearly has no problem. * an "extension vendor" has no problem because they will be selling to proprietary secretive corporations. * an academic product also has no problem. * a NONCOMMERCIAL "open" design which NEVER becomes a commercial product also gaw no problem. * an UNSUCCESSFUL or niche product, even if it violates Trademark Law by using Custom OPcodes without authotisation, that is not intended to be mass volume also does not cause absolute chaos. > > > > >> I guess my point is, they use more battery power than intel even. > > what, PowerPC? that's a poor micro-architectural choice that doesn't > > have anything specifically to do with the ISA, especially when the VLE > > book (Variable Length Encoding) exists (equivalent to RVC). > > > > l. > Okay, well you did say openpower, what is that? google "open power foundation" l. -- --- crowd-funded eco-conscious hardware: https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68 _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list [email protected] http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to [email protected]
