RISC-V is a modern, open-source instruction set architecture (ISA) that is highly customizable, lightweight, and designed for flexibility. Unlike proprietary architectures, RISC-V enables developers to design hardware tailored to specific applications without licensing fees. Its modular design supports a wide range of devices, from microcontrollers to high-performance systems, while promoting innovation through open collaboration. Ideal for research, development, and commercial use, RISC-V is shaping the future of computing with its simplicity, scalability, and community-driven ecosystem.
- 32 indicates the 32-bit architecture.Which means the processor uses 32-bit wide registers and supports 32-bit addresses and data widths.
- I stands for Base Integer Instruction Set.
- M stands for Integer Multiplication and Division Extention.
