In the Oct 2019 edition of the Economist Magazine, there was an article about open-source computing, which states: “Open-source software was a prerequisite for the smartphone boom that has taken place over the past decade. Open-source hardware, such as RISC-V, may lead to a similar expansion of other devices in the decade to come.”
RISC-V, as the foundation of open source hardware, has gained tremendous attentions in China. In this talk, Dr. Guangnang Ni, member of Chinese Academy of Engineering and the chair of China RISC-V Alliance (CRVA), will briefly introduce the status of RISC-V in China.
