Microchip's new 5-core 64-bit RISC-V PIC64GX
- Jakeg_dev 2y agoI'm somewhat tempted to pick up one of the dev kits for it. But last time I ordered directly from Microchip they sent me an empty tape reel. maybe I'll wait until it shows up at other distributors.
- brucehoult 2y agoNot shipping until January 28 2025 anyway. https://www.microchip.com/en-us/development-tool/curiosity-pic64gx1000-kit-es https://www.microchip.com/en-us/development-tool/curiosity-p... You can just buy an "Icicle" PolarFire SoC dev board (available since late 2021) and ignore the FPGA part. It's the same thing, pin compatible, same RISC-V CPUs at the same speed, and comes from the factory with the FPGA programmed to connect the CPU cores to the peripherals and boot Linux out of the box. https://mou.sr/44SLfUe https://mou.sr/44SLfUe Obviously, it's more expensive, as it contains a 250k LE FPGA, with the bare chip selling for $400 - $500 all by itself.
