IP issues. As I understand it, Harris and Harris changed their textbook from ARM to RISC-V because of IP issues and ARM's lawyers.
The MIPS architecture was also sabotaged by IP issues.
As a result, architecture students are learning how to use and implement RISC-V. Thanks ARM.
- wyldfire 3y agoReally?! You'd think ARM would do backflips to get the curriculum to include their architecture.
- musicale 3y agoThey seem to be improving and do have an "ARM Education Core", but RISC-V has academic momentum at this point.
- Dr4kn 3y agoIt's amazing how a lot of companies just forget how they got so big. If people can learn for cheap or at least very cheaply with your stuff, then they are going to use it when making money. Restricting teaching with it or charging students the high corporate fees are just going to backfire in the long run. People will learn with whatever is cheap or free . Davinci Resolve is getting more popular, because it's "free" and Adobe is a buggy piece of shit. Blender got popular, because learning at home, with any other software was way too expensive.

And before that, easy availability of UNIX to students made it the default OS of any high-end computer throughout the 1980s and well into the 1990s.
