Some of the Berkeley test chips with RISC-V processors were done on ST's 28nm FD-SOI. There's not currently any larger role from ST or any other fab.

This has been discussed before in the RISC-V community. See https://lists.riscv.org/lists/arc/hw-dev/2014-09/msg00007.ht... (sorry, you'll probably have to click the "I'm not a spammer lin

I agree that the easiest entry-point for RISC-V is in systems which run embedded firmware of some sort (even if it's a builroot Linux rootfs). Even before you get to that, there are loads of companies that still have their own home-gro

I highly recommend z for switching between frequently used folders. Sure you could set up aliases, but then you need to keep them up to date when your work patterns change. https://github.com/rupa/z

I feel a little uncomfortable about this being posted again. The whole incident was very unpleasant, but everyone involved regrets it deeply. Steve Klabnik particularly has commented several times how greatly he regrets the role he played i

That's great information, I'd recommend you sure on the GOG forum for that game and email back GOG support so they can add it to their knowledgebase.

This is (in my humble opinion) a fantastic introduction, and relevant to a much wider audience than the title implies. If you want to keep up to date with LLVM developments, you might also be interested in my LLVM Weekly newsletter ( http:&

With no code release yet it definitely seems early to be discussing on HN. The author of the excellent Capstone disassembly engine ( http://www.capstone-engine.org/ ) is involved though, so it definitely has my interest.

PowerPC is in the same situation, with 'OpenPOWER' (I think the Open must stand for "we're Open for business"?). Of course, open instruction sets like RISC-V http://riscv.org/ require no license fee
