Thanks! The only Canadian entity that I recognize in RISC V International is UWO... At this point I see an extremely good future for the RISC-V in embedded systems but a REALLY long wait for it to challenge anywhere in complex CPU space. - Evan On Sun, Feb 4, 2024 at 5:16 PM Scott Allen

(Top posting because unmangling Evan's message is hard.) For serious applications, the openness RISC-V helps but doesn't make everything you need open and free. Or even available. You actually need chip designs -- what SiFive sells. You also need a lot of other modules for things like USB,

Re: [GTALUG] RISC-V News

Interesting. Of course it is always useful to read beyond the cheery predictions. Buried under all the positive upward chart lines is the news (from the same publication) that a major RISC-V "pioneer" has just undergone layoffs (20% of engineering) and restructuring
