HiFive Unleashed – The First RISC-V-based Linux development board
https://www.electronics-lab.com/hifive-unleashed-first-risc-v-based-linux-development-board/
RISC-V is an open specification of an Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). That is, it describes the way in which software talks to an underlying processor – just like the x86 ISA for Intel/AMD processors and the ARM ISA for ARM processors. Unlike those, however, the RISC-V ISA is open so that anyone can build a […]
