Description
In May 2021 a European working group was established to work out recommendations and a roadmap for European sovereignty in open-source hardware, software and RISC-V technologies. This working group consisted of representatives of large enterprises, SME’s and RTO’s who are strong believers in RISC-V towards high performance computing and embedded applications in multiple application domains, as a.o. automotive, industrial automation, networking and communications. A first report has been delivered in November 2021. It explained increased adoption of open-source and how open-source fits into different value chains. Key players and market drivers have been described. An initial roadmap has been worked out in terms of future expectations on different types of processor architectures, accelerators, domain-specific applications, peripherals, software and EDA-tools. It showed a vision on how a future open-source repository and landscape could look like for Europe. A second and final report is expected end-of-March 2022. This report is translating the vision into an implementation program over the next 10 years. It focuses on RISC-V, it’s value and different business models and strategies on the market. Furthermore the gaps and future needs have been identified on short-, mid- and long-term, and have been translated into an implementation program based on a number of Focus Topics.
