RISC-V is also known as “the Linux of CPUs.” For some, this title feels like a legacy and an innovation at the same time, especially if you are a staunch believer in open source. However, I am a true pragmatist, and the excessive marketing of RISC-V has made me lose interest in the term. It … Read more
RISC-V is an instruction set architecture (ISA) for microprocessors, and people’s opinions about it are polarized. This is especially true given the apparent competition between the ARM and RISC-V camps. This makes sense. RISC-V and ARM represent fundamentally different philosophies on how to design RISC chips. RISC-V has a long-term view that emphasizes simplicity, avoiding … Read more
| Source: SIMIT Strategic Research Office (ID: SIMITSRO) Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences The two major architectures of current CPUs are CISC (Complex Instruction Set) and RISC (Reduced Instruction Set). x86 is the representative architecture of CISC, occupying over 95% of the desktop computer and server market. Arm, as … Read more
In the past year or two, the open-source instruction set architecture RISC-V has received unprecedented support from the industry due to its advantages such as open-source, free, modular, and scalable. Major companies including Qualcomm, Google, NVIDIA, Samsung, Western Digital, SiFive, PingTouGe, ChipLink, XuanYuan Microelectronics, GigaDevice, and hundreds of others are vigorously supporting the RISC-V ecosystem, … Read more
X-Silicon Inc. (XSi) has created a new RISC-V microprocessor architecture that combines RISC-V CPU cores with vector capabilities and GPU acceleration into a single chip. According to Jon Peddie Research, the CPU/GPU hybrid chip is open-source and is designed to handle a variety of functions typically managed by dedicated CPUs and GPUs, aiming to do … Read more

At first hearing the term “Bluetooth”, you might picture a blue tooth. So why would such a good technology be named this? What story … Read more
RF engineers should better understand applications outside their industry, because it is not your competitors that will disrupt you, but possibly AI. Imagine a day when a large AI model starts to excel in RF design, capable of simulating, debugging, and testing by itself… Then RF engineers will truly be overwhelmed; we can work 996, … Read more
01 HC-12 Communication Module 1. Introduction These are two HC-12 wireless communication modules just assembled. The LED can display the number of bytes received. Now let’s go outside to the square to check the communication distance. Its communication baud rate is 9600, let’s see what the corresponding communication distance is in this case. 2. Measurement … Read more
