I hope that noone had that impression. The key point (which I have to repeat every now and then) is that RISC-V *supports* openness, in ways not possible with x86, ARM or -yes- even POWER, at least at the moment. > An open implementation of RISC-V will require a commitment on the > part of a company to opening it up at all levels, not just the > instruction set. ron minnich wrote: > I'm still interested in risc-v, just not hifive. Right - I think it's important not to judge an open architecture by any one implementation, but to remember (as you point out) the difference between architecture and implementation. //Peter -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] https://mail.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
