Chipmaker ARM is going on the offensive against the RISC-V open-source processor instruction set architecture with a new propaganda education site.
ARM has launched RISCV-Basics.com as a site to "understanding the facts" about the RISC-V architecture.
For those who came in late, RISC-V is open saucy and is being seen as a great white hope. So far though there has been one expensive developer board released.
Their five points it tries to make before designing a SoC is that the ISA accounts for only a small portion of the total investment to creating a commercial processor, RISC-V doesn't yet have a large developer ecosystem, there is the risk of fragmentation with this open-source ISA, RISC-V is new and thus not yet as mature in terms of being a proven architecture around security, and greater design costs with RISC-V due to potential re-validation if modifying the ISA.
