Extending RISC-V Processors In The Field With Codasip Studio & Menta eFPGA
By Codasip - 21 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

RISC-V is an open specification that allows an infinite number of implementations. But RISC-V goes beyond that and encourages processor architects to add new instructions to accelerate certain algorithms or application domains, for example DSP, AI/ML, and others, while keeping the base instruction set stable. The new instructions may help with the performance, code size, power consumption, or d... » read more
