Navigating the RISC-V Ecosystem

One of the main attractions of the RISC-V standard is that it is open source and does not involve paying license fees or royalties, resulting in a lower cost of silicon production. However, the design and implementation of any System on Chip (SoC) require the integration of several engineering aspects, including CPU architecture, SoC design and verification, physical implementation, Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools/libraries, software (SW) tools, foundries, and silicon packaging. Engineering teams need to comprehend each aspect of this chain from the standpoint of the RISC-V standard to build a successful product that minimizes overall development costs.

ACL Digital engineers possess a comprehensive understanding of various aspects of silicon engineering. Our robust team, equipped with experience in CPU architecture, design, and physical implementation, amalgamates the diverse skills required for designing and implementing a System on Chip (SoC) based on RISC-V.
