open source

RISC-V adoption is growing fast as is the ecosystem around the open-source core. Hardware and software are now vital for appropriate debug.

Fast emerging options, like RISC-V, could foster massive growth in design but verification still needs commercial tools, a Semicon West panel found.

Introducing some of the key links that support the open-source RISC-V ISA with a view toward their use on commercial projects.

Exchange frameworks are emerging to make it easier for neural-network developers to swap between development environments.

Mind how you go. The only truly free thing about open source tools is the download itself. There is, however, a 'third way', matching professional support to these often useful options.

Open-source toolchains give companies ultimate control over their development environments, but how many can really afford the resources to debug and develop their own tools? Would they be better off with a commercially supported open-source approach?

New open software platforms can dramatically advance the way consumers interact with the Internet via their televisions and an expanding array of TV-like mobile devices. Ultimately consumers will be able to access websites that are fully optimized for the TV platform. Today, this experience is primarily delivered via widgets—containerized web pages or information portals that [...]

The GENIVI Alliance is already accelerating cross-industry standards development only two years since its formation, says Joel Hoffmann.

There are strategies, tools and devices to get the best from these OSs without buying a higher-end MPU, says Jacko Wilbrink.

Glenn Perry, general manager of Mentor Graphics Embedded Software Division, discusses embedded development trends.
