Spring in Paris with RISC-V Week

This article is part of the TechXchange: RISC-V: The Instruction-Set Alternative.

RISC-V has moved rapidly from an academic exercise to an ecosystem that includes hardware from major silicon vendors with support from all of the top software vendors. You can program RISC-V processors using languages ranging from C and Java to Rust and Ada. Microchip even has hard-core RISC-V processors embedded in its FPGA.

Electronic Design will be hosting Expanding the RISC-V Ecosystem event on Engineering Academy in September, but if you're in Paris this May, you can take in the RISC-V Week hosted by RISC-V International. Travel for me is a bit limited, so I’ll have to contend with a remote view of their keynotes and presentations.

In the meantime, you can take a look at the 2021 RISC-V Summit, which was a hybrid event as well. Below I’ve chosen a few of the videos to highlight here, but you also can search through the full RISC-V Summit YouTube playlist. In addition, check out a video intro to RISC-V and our 11 Myths About the RISC-V ISA article to get more acquainted with the idea of RISC-V.
