It looks like Microchip is adding a portfolio of RISC-V chips to its lineup. Microchip has a large number of easy-to-use chips, including the 8-bit PIC and AVR families, the 32-bit SAM which includes Cortex-M0, M23, M4, M7 Cortex-A5 and (lol) the ARM9 family (still available today for all the Jazelle fans), and even a bit of a MIPS processor sitting around. It looks like PIC64-GX will be Microchip's RISC-V. ---------- One of the cooler things in this announcement is the confirmation of linux4microchip.com support. linux4sam always was a good resource (and still is today: even for modern chips like SAM9x60).
