If you read Japanese, you might have seen the book “Design and Implementation of Microkernels” by [Seiya Nuda]. An appendix covers how to write your own operating system for RISC-V in about 1,000 ...

Big quote: Linus Torvalds, the founder and lead developer of the Linux kernel, firmly rejected a code contribution intended to enhance RISC-V architecture support in the upcoming Linux 6.17 release.

The state of RISC-V, including new RISC-V announcements. A look at some good video presentations at the 2024 RISC-V Summit. RISC-V trends in 2025. I didn't make it to the RISC-V Summit this year.

Last month, a team of Google security researchers released a tool that can modify microcode of AMD's processors based on the Zen microarchitecture, the Zentool. While this is a security vulnerability, ...

Last year the introduction of RISC-V support to the Android-specific, Linux-derived Android Common Kernel (ACK) made it seem that before long Android devices might be using SoCs based around the ...

Have you ever wondered if there’s a way to break free from the dominance of proprietary computing architectures like x86 and ARM? For decades, these platforms have dictated the rules of the game, ...

Many believe that the future of chip design—and the development of new technologies like next-generation artificial intelligence (AI)—will depend on RISC-V architecture. RISC-V is an open standard ...
