“Most of them will fail complete without ever anybody hearing about them. But even the successful ones take a stumble or two,” says Torvalds.

    RISC-V is the only shot we have at usable open source hardware. I really, really hope it takes off.

      Whilst some open source implementations exist, RISC-V is not open source. It’s an open standard. i.e. there’s no license fee to implement it.

        I didn’t know that I thought all RISC-V was open source :( I’m not as familiar with it as I’d like to be. I might just have to dive into it more and change that soon

          If RISC-V was under some copyleft license where chip designs would have to be made open source, nobody from the chip industry would support RISC-V. They want “kinda like ARM but without licensing fees”.
