Uh no.
Let's set the record straight: It was proposed by Qualcomm, and only Qualcomm presented a case against C, which was quickly and thoroughly shot down by SiFive[0].
During the discussion, it became apparent that Qualcomm was only having issues because they tried to swap the frontend of the ARM core they got from Nuvia with the minimal amount of effort.
This end result shows that RISC-V Board is strong and won't be easily derailed by one of its member companies.

- monocasa 3y agoGood to know, thanks. Doubly so right that the effort to remove RV-C failed then.
