Open-Source HW Commercial Adoption: Lessons Learned - Rick O’Connor & Florian Wohlrab, OpenHW Group
This talk will provide a brief overview of Open-Source HW activity across the industry, barriers to adoption of Open-Source HW and challenges associated with SoC design. Lessons learned related to the OpenHW Group Governance model and commercial adoption of CORE-V Family of open source RISC-V cores will also be presented. The CORE-V family is an OpenHW Group project to develop, deploy, and execute pre-silicon functional verification and SoC based development kits of the CORE-V family of open-source RISC-V cores. Written in SystemVerilog, CORE-V open-source IP cores match the quality of IP offered by established commercial providers and are verified with state-of-the-art, auditable flows.
