RISC-V and ARM are the two most prominent processor architectures in recent years. ARM, launched in the 1990s, is a RISC ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) that has benefited from the rise of smartphones, with cumulative shipments of ARM cores exceeding 100 billion units. It has gained a reputation based on years of trust and accumulated … 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
What is RISC-V RISC-V is an open-source instruction set architecture that defines a set of basic opcodes and registers, along with some optional extended instructions. The design goal of RISC-V is to provide a completely open, real, simple, flexible, efficient, and scalable instruction set architecture suitable for various application scenarios and processor implementations. The Birth … Read more
To build an embedded system, the first step is to confirm the desired Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). Each ISA has its advantages and disadvantages, and this article will introduce the concept and scope of embedded systems, as well as the aspects to consider when choosing an ISA. To meet the diverse application needs of customers, … Read more
