32-bit RISC-V processor Paves Way To Low-power IoT Designs
A new processor core based on RISC-V architecture for low-energy IoT nodes has been unveiled by Embedded CPU core supplier Codasip. Leveraging the new processor, IoT ASIC designers can move up from 8bit processors to 32bit processors. The Bk-1 is fully compliant with the RISC-V open standard, so that customers’ embedded software is truly portable and their designs are not locked into a proprietary instruction set architecture such as ARM. Designers can request an evaluation kit free of charge. Read more.
MIPS Comes To High-volume Smartphone LTE modems
