The processor market has always been dominated by proprietary architectures that incorporate instruction sets that require licensing and payment of fees to be used. ARM is an example of a company that sells its microarchitectures to manufacturers so that they can incorporate them into their own products, and it prohibits the use of its instruction set (ISA) in other architectures without licensing. The RISC-V instruction set appeared, promising low-cost hardware and software development via the development of an open-source ISA. As a result, any project that integrates the RISC-V ISA could be made open-source or even deployed in commercial applications. In addition, use of reconfigurable architectures is more flexible for products development. Hence this program will motivate the participants to develop RISC-V softcore processor on reconfigurable (FPGA) platform.
