As a specialist in open source compiler tool chains and operating systems, open standards are central to Embecosm’s business. Our customers, whether they use the smallest edge computing platform or the largest of HPC systems, must have confidence in the ubiquity and long-term stability of RISC-V cores. We see OpenHW Group as a crucible of innovators and the CORE-V Family as a set of trusted and reliable implementations of the RISC-V open standard.
