Umthombo ovulekile kanye nesoftware yamahhala yinto ebisikhathaze isikhathi eside, kepha i-open-source noma i-hardware yamahhala yinto esekukhanya iminyaka uma iqhathaniswa nezwe lesoftware. Kunezinhlaka eziningana zokwakhiwa kwamahardware namaphrojekthi (mane uvakashele i-opencores.org ukubona izibonelo ezithile), kepha kusadinga ukukhuthazwa okukhulu ukuze sonke sizuze kukho. Ithemba elikhulu I-RISC-V, i-ISA evulekile futhi lapho amanye amaphrojekthi wama-processor wamahhala noma ama-SoCs ondla khona.
Yebo, ukunikeza lowo mfutho yilokho okuhloswe yiphrojekthi I-CHIPS Alliance ngaphansi kwesambulela se-Linux Foundation. Ama-CHIP amele i-Common Hardware ye-Interfaces, amaProsesa namaSystem, okungukuthi, i-Hardware ejwayelekile yezindawo zokuxhumana, amaprosesa nezinhlelo. Kuhloselwe ukukhuthaza amasistimu wehadiwe avulekile noma amahhala futhi athuthukise ama-chip esizayo ngokuya nge-ISA RISC-V eshiwo ngenhla.
Ngemuva kwe-CHIPS Alliance akuyona i-Linux Foundation kuphela, ebasekelayo, kodwa kukhona nezinkampani ezinkulu ezifana ne I-Google, i-SiFive, i-Western Digital, i-Esperanto Technologies, njll. Usuyazi vele ukuthi iSiFive yinkampani engenalutho esivele yethule ama-chips noma ama-processor adumile asuselwa ku-RISC-V. Njengoba wazi, le ISA isuselwa ekwakhiweni kwe-RISC, kepha ivuliwe futhi ithuthukiswa yizinkampani eziningi ezaziwayo kulo mkhakha.
I-RISC-V, usuyazi vele ukuthi ingaphansi kwenhlangano yeRISC-V Foundation, enenani elikhulu lezinkampani ezisebenzisanayo njengoba wazi. Ukusuka lapho, baphethe kuphela ukwenza imiyalo eyakha i-ISA, kanti abanye baphethe ukusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obuncane bokusebenzisa i-ISA eshiwo. Manje, nge-CHIPS Alliance, bazofuna ne- ukwakheka okujwayelekile kwe-chip futhi ivulekele amadivayisi eselula, ama-PC kanye ne-electronics yabathengi ne-IoT.
Ngiyethemba izokhula maduzane futhi sizobona amanye ama-IC kunalokho asevele ekhona ... Futhi, usuvele uyazi ukuthi i-RISC-V kusekelwa yi-Linux kernel selokhu inguqulo 4.15.
