There are plenty of radios you can buy that pick up MW and SW bands if that’s what you’re into. Or, you can follow [mircemk]’s example, and whip one up yourself instead. The build employs an ESP32 as ...

1. GigaDevice’s GD32VW553 is a general-purpose RISC-V microcontroller. The family is built around a 160-MHz RISC-V core with 32-kB configurable instruction cache and 320-kB of SRAM. It has 4 MB of ...

In brief: An agentic AI system has reportedly designed a complete RISC-V CPU core from scratch in just 12 hours, marking the first time an autonomous agent has built a working CPU from specification ...

The Dabao Evaluation board is a tiny new single-board computer with a USB 2.0 Type-C port, a 20-pin GPIO header, and a custom RISC-V chip called the Baochip-1x. It’s that last bit that makes this ...

The open-source nature of RISC-V brings the benefits of a modular and royalty-free instruction set architecture (ISA) that eliminates licensing fees, can accelerate development, and fosters ...

Every major computing era has been defined not by technology, but by a dominant workload—and by how well processor architectures adapted to it. The personal computer era rewarded general-purpose ...

People tend to stick with the microcontroller unit (MCU) they are most familiar with. However, on-device Generative artificial intelligence introduces resource limitations that necessitate a more ...

Discussions about CPUs often frame one instruction set architecture (ISA) against another—x86 vs. Arm, Arm vs. RISC-V, and so on. However, it’s common to use multiple CPU architectures in a single ...

[bogdanthegeek] has a lot of experience with the ARM platform, and their latest escapade into working with cheap ARM chips recovered from disposable vapes involved a realization that it was just plain ...

RISC (reduced instruction set computer), and CISC (complex instruction set computer). These two principles govern fundamental choices of CPU design and implementation. RISC architectures, such as ARM, ...
