Raspberry Pi RP2350 already ships with ARM and RISC-V cores. https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/rp2350/ https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/rp2350/
It seems that the RISC-V cores don't take much space on the chip: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41192341 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41192341
Of course, microcontrollers are a different from mobile CPUs, but it's doable.
- MindSpunk 2y agoThat's not really comparable. Raspberry Pi added entirely separate RISC-V cores to the chip, they didn't convert an ARM core design to run RISC-V instructions. What is being discussed is taking an ARM design and modifying it to run RISC-V, which is not the same thing as what Raspberry Pi has done and is not as simple as people are implying here.
