RISC-V community
Risc-V: an open source instruction set

The development and implementation of a free instruction set requires the support of an ever-growing community around :

• hardware developments ;

• software development (simulators, debuggers, compilers and libraries, loaders and monitors, operating system kernels, Linux distributions, real-time operating systems, etc.).

A RISC-V foundation was created in 2015. It had in May 2019 more than 250 members (https://riscv.org/) :

• 13 universities ;

• 29 consultants and researchers ;

• 23 firms for software, development tools and cloud ;

• 104 individual developers ;

• 51 firms involved in AI, FPGA, commercial circuits, networks, graphics, specific processors ;

• 43 firms involved at...
