RISC-V Single Board Computers

Founded:2010

Location:Berkeley, California, USA

RISC-V is an open standard instruction set architecture (ISA) based on established reduced instruction set computer (RISC) principles. Unlike proprietary ISAs, RISC-V is free and open, allowing anyone to design, manufacture, and sell RISC-V chips and software.
