- maaku 11y agoThere are many other, equally if not more interesting implementations...
- ashitlerferad 11y agolowRISC is the only project that aims to distribute ASICs AFAIK. Are there others?
- reportingsjr 11y agoThe pulp platform has taped out a RISC-V based microcontroller, but I don't think they have plans to sell/really distribute any asics unfortunately.
- ashitlerferad 11y agoYeah, that is the problem with niche CPU arches; if mass quantities aren't available to buy (either lone chips or in consumer products), people aren't going to use it much. Not everyone can afford to have their own fab :)
- razer6 11y agoYou can always start playing around with PULPino on a FPGA :)
- maaku 11y agoPretty much everyone is looking at eventual ASIC fabrication. It just takes a lot of money to do that, so people are validating ideas first on FPGAs.
- monocasa 11y agoEveryone is looking at ASIC fabrication, it's distribution that we're concerned about.
- mwfunk 11y agoURLs or it didn't happen!
