Santa Clara, California. OpenHW Group publicized its CORE-V CVA6 Platform project, an open-source FPGA-based software design and test environment for RISC-V processors. The muli-member project will deliver client and server-compliant open-source processor designs utilizing the CV-Mesh clustering Network-on-Chip (NoC).

Ottawa, Ontario. OpenHW Group is now shipping its OpenHW CORE-V MCU DevKit featuring an open-source printed circuit board (PCB) with OpenHW’s CORE-V MCU, several peripherals, a software development kit (SDK) with Eclipse-based integrated development environment (IDE). Reliable connectivity is securely delivered from Amazon Web Services (AWS) via AWS IoT ExpressLink, within AWS cloud offerings.

In Fight Club, Tyler Durden says, “A person had to work hard for it, but a minute of perfection was worth the effort.” This always had me thinking about the first two words, “A person”, if one singular person can create a minute of perfection, what can a global team accomplish? I believe we are going to find out when we visit our friends at OpenHW Group, so off to the north!

As the demand for increased functionality through advanced techniques such as data analytics and machine learning increases, the ability to handle software efficiently is vital to success.

The OpenHW Group will drive availability of open-source processor IP implementations for engineers designing high-volume production SoCs through solutions like CORE-V RISC-V cores.
