Renesas launches first-generation 32-bit RISC-V CPU core
【Lansheng Technology News】 Renesas Electronics recently announced the successful design, testing and launch of a 32-bit CPU core based on the open standard RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA). As the first manufacturer in the industry to independently develop CPU cores for the 32-bit general-purpose RISC-V market, Renesas has created an open and flexible platform for the Internet of Things, consumer electronics, healthcare and industrial systems. The new RISC-V CPU core will expand Renesas’ existing 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) IP product lineup, including the proprietary RX product family and the RA product family based on the Arm® Cortex®-M architecture. RISC-V is an open ISA that is rapidly gaining popularity in the semiconductor industry because of its flexibility, scalability, high energy efficiency, and open ecosystem. Currently, many MCU suppliers have established joint investment alliances to accelerate the development of RISC-V products, and Renesas has successful...
