In this issue, we have focused on optimizing the release testing process, further enhancing compatibility and documentation testing before version releases. After two days of concentrated fixes, RuyiSDK 0.40 has been officially released. This version has some known issues (see … Read more
I have always been interested in novel platforms. Back in the late 1990s, I ran Debian on an Alpha machine and was involved in the Alpha porting team; later, I helped boot Debian on amd64. Currently, I have about 8 Raspberry Pi devices in use, and the free NNCPNET internet email service I manage runs … Read more
In the last issue, we held a book giveaway event, offering a technical book on ESP32 to the top three commenters. Here, I will update the column “Microcontroller” with the journey of learning about ESP32. For those who received the book and those who didn’t, let’s progress together and master this microcontroller. From the ESP8266 … Read more
Comprehensive report from Electronic Enthusiasts Network,In modern data center architecture, the Data Processing Unit (DPU) is rapidly emerging as the third core chip following the CPU and GPU. The DPU is designed for data-intensive tasks, offloading inefficient workloads from the CPU, such as network virtualization, storage acceleration, and security encryption, thereby freeing up core computing … Read more
Definition of PMP The full name of PMP is Physical Memory Protection. It is a lightweight and low-overhead memory protection mechanism in the RISC-V architecture, primarily used in embedded systems or real-time operating systems (RTOS) that do not have a Memory Management Unit (MMU). The core purpose is to provide access control to physical memory … Read more
Source: Semiconductor Industry Observer With the support of technical heavyweights, RISC-V is continuously growing, but it also brings challenges: encouraging CPU designers to maintain consistency and avoid the kind of fragmentation that occurred with MIPS and Android. In light of this, RISC-V International, which coordinates the development of the open-source instruction set architecture (ISA), has … Read more

Turning to the RISC-V camp One of the world’s three major chip architectures, MIPS, has become history. According to foreign media reports, the parent company announced it would abandon the design of the … Read more
Recently, Tesla joined the RISC-V Foundation and is considering using free RISC-V designs in its new chips. So far, more than 100 technology companies, including IBM, NXP, Western Digital, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Samsung, Google, and Huawei, have joined the RISC-V camp. The reason for this phenomenon is partly due to the exorbitant licensing fees of ARM, … Read more
According to reports from Electronic Enthusiasts (by Zhou Kaiyang), the growth rate of RISC-V in recent years is undeniable, as evidenced by the increasing number of manufacturers launching chips based on this architecture. At this year’s RISC-V Summit, RISC-V International CEO Calista Redmond announced the latest data from the end of 2022.Currently, RISC-V has attracted … Read more
RISC-V is not only a new trend in the Chinese chip industry but has also stirred a global RISC-V whirlwind. Legendary architecture engineer Jim Keller from AMD and Apple, after developing architectures like Alpha, x86, and Arm, has decided to bet on the RISC-V architecture for AI chips; Qualcomm, which has a long-standing partnership with … Read more
