RISC-V development at Fraunhofer IPMS
Summary
For this purpose, the ecosystem will be extended with essential components in industrial-quality, which can be used for SoC designs in various application areas (e.g. automotive, industrial, etc.). This will provide an independent and open alternative to commercial - mostly non-European - solutions and strengthen Europes technological sovereignty. In the project the Fraunhofer IPMS together with other partners will develop an open source trace module for embedded RISC-V processors based on appropriate specifications. As part of the OCTOPUS funding program, the joint project ImaB-Edge is developing a system of distributed sensor electronics for permanent monitoring of the condition of the structural fabric of infrastructure buildings in order to ensure energy-efficient and predictive maintenance. The main task of the Fraunhofer IPMS is the design of an energy-efficient, flexibly scalable and yet very high-performance computing cluster consisting of several RISC-V processors.
