Still plain rva20/rv64gc+Zcsr, but even that is progress. Previous India chips were missing c extension, and thus not able to run Debian and the like. I am hopeful they will eventually catch up with rva23, the base the ecosystem has ag

Not providing a DE9 atari controller port kills any interest on this which I might otherwise have.

>RTLinux or FreeRTOS are guaranteed-latency OS, that can reduce timing jitter. Unlike seL4[0], neither OS has a guarantee of worst case latency. RTLinux cannot realistically have one, as formal verification is not feasible due to its she

Great debugging effort. Now, with the complexity (MLoCs!) of the Linux kernel, this is definitely not the only bug to be found in there. This is why Linux is just an interim kernel for these use cases in which we still cannot use seL4[0]. 0

Doubtful. To have silicon in early 2026 would mean tapeout happened months ago.

rv32ec is indeed less dense than thumb2. This is of course not the case anymore with the newer bitmanip and code size extensions, but it holds true for the older, crude rv32ec.

These trackers are the humane way. ICE could be way less nice than this.

Their P870-D looks plenty competitive. What they might have issues with is finding clients to license it to.

Not a replica. Just a cheap, low-end ARM SoC running an open source Amiga emulator in non-accurate mode. And a bunch of games, plus a menu to launch them. In a ridiculously large, nostalgia-exploiting case.

>So now that h.264, h.265, and AV1 seem to be the three major codecs with hardware support That'd be h264 (associated patents expired in most of the world), vp9 and av1. h265 aka HEVC is less common due to dodgy, abusive licensing.

>Spoiler, it's not much because most of the actual execution time is spent in a handful of basic OPs. Yet, on a CISC ISA, you still have to support everything else, which is essentially cruft.

Very high performance RISC-V cores have been available for licensing for a while. Far from unicorn territory. And we'll see them on chips soon. e.g. Tenstorrent announced Atlantis, a SoC and development platform, due 2026Q1.

You seem to be confusing ISA and microarchitecture. Modern ISAs try really hard to be independent from microarchitecture.

Because, unlike RISC-V, x86 has no x0 register.
