Eclipse Foundatio<\/a><\/strong>n, a global community for open-source software collaboration and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\nInaugural OpenHW sponsors include Alibaba, Bluespec, CMC Microsystems, Embecosm, ETH Zurich (University), GreenWaves, Imperas, Metrics, Mythic AI, NXP, Onespin, Silicon Labs and Thales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The OpenHW Group will serve developers of processor cores and hardware and software engineers who design SoCs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The advent of open ISAs such as RISC-V has encouraged organizations throughout the world to take a fresh look at open-source processor development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For these organisations, the OpenHW Group aims to drive greater awareness, understanding and availability of open-source processor implementations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
O\u2019Connor explains: \u201cIf you design or are looking for open-source processor IP, OpenHW Group is an organisation for collaborating with like-minded engineers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“If you\u2019re an SoC designer, you don\u2019t have to design from scratch; we will help you accelerate your design process by supplying you with a growing range of proven processor IP options, all available within an expanding, high-quality ecosystem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor example, for RISC-V-based processors, we\u2019re introducing the CORE-V family of cores, which supports system-on-chip (SoC) hardware and software designers with a quality and manufacturability assurance when adopting RISC-V processor core IP.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rob Oshana, Chairman of the Board, OpenHW Group and VP Software Engineering, NXP said: \u201cThe electronics industry is embracing open-source processor technologies at an unprecedented rate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“At NXP we believe there\u2019s a need to create a deep ecosystem to support adoption of the RISC-V ISA. This includes various components – middleware, stacks and tools – all aligned to move the architecture forward. I\u2019m pleased to serve as Chairman of the OpenHW Group board to help realise this goal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
