Really?! Got a link? I thought the ISA was still in flux, isn't it a bit early to be making hardware?
- rwmj 10y agoFollow the links in: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13213342 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13213342 and have a look at the latest workshop proceedings: https://riscv.org/2016/12/5th-risc-v-workshop-proceedings/ https://riscv.org/2016/12/5th-risc-v-workshop-proceedings/ The user-level ISA is fixed. The privileged-level ISA is in flux, but people obviously think there's enough there to make real hardware. To be fair the main problems with the privspec are to do with virtualization, and likely the first crop of hardware won't support that or will have only interim support.
