Going BIG With the RISC-V Ecosystem

on YouTube ↗17m

" summary

RISC-V International reaches a 15th anniversary with 135 ratified extensions and a push from Qualcomm-backed work to move from an ISA to an application-processor ecosystem; Qualcomm reports hundreds of millions of RISC-V cores shipped. Demonstrations like the Scaleway RISC-V cloud instance reveal real obstacles — sheet metal changes, low-level boot and kernel patches — and justify investment in certification, documentation, architecture validation, tooling (Yocto, compilers) and developer training.
