Microprocessor uses RISC-V CPU ISA
Summary
Expanding upon Renesas previously available Arm CPU core–based MPUs, the RZ/Five is the first general-purpose MPU on the market based on an Andes AX45MP utilising a RISC-V CPU instruction set architecture (ISA). The enhanced 64-bit RISC-V MPU offers users greater flexibility by providing the tools and building blocks to help get designs to market faster, including support through Renesas RZ Partner Ecosystem. The RZ/Five-RISC-V microprocessor is a single-core, 64-bit processor with a maximum operating frequency of 1 GHz. Peripheral functions include support for multiple interfaces, including two Gigabit Ethernet MAC channels, two USB 2.0 channels, and two serial CAN/CAN-FD interfaces. The microprocessor also offers long-term Linux support through a Verified Linux Package (VLP) featuring Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP) Linux to address corporate infrastructure and industrial applications requiring high reliability and extended service life.
