It began development in 2010 as a project of UC Berkeley\u2019s Parallel Computing Laboratory, but over the course of 5 years became something much bigger. Eventually, 36 tech companies came together to support RISC-V and founded the RISC-V Foundation. In 2020, the RISC-V Foundation renamed itself RISC-V International.<\/p>\n<cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/computing\/arm-vs-risc-v\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/computing\/arm-vs-risc-v\/<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/star64_03-780x457-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/star64_03-780x457-1.jpg 780w, https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/star64_03-780x457-1-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/star64_03-780x457-1-768x450.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/liliputing.com\/star64-risc-v-single-board-pc-launches-april-4-for-70-and-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/liliputing.com\/star64-risc-v-single-board-pc-launches-april-4-for-70-and-up\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re starting to get open source instruction set RISC-V boards which shows great promise for a more open hardware format and possibly cheaper boards with more manufacturers competing.
