Keynote: Software Drives Hardware, lessons learned and future directions
summary
Company integrates RISC‑V into microcontroller flow using Chisel to prototype instruction extensions; one embedded engineer produces custom instructions to accelerate an IP checksum and hands a specification to a five‑person design team. Result: working minion cores in silicon with extra bus gaskets for SOC alignment, verification taking the longest effort, about six issues fixed and upstreamed to PULPino. Strategy formalizes software drives hardware and moves into product roadmap in H2.
