On Thursday 23rd November the Open Source Hardware User Group and BCS Open Source Specialist User Group will host an evening of RISC-V themed talks.
Playfully entitled, “RISC-V, RISC-V, RISC-V“, the joint meeting of OSHUG and BCS OSSG will play host to talks on Bringing up cycle-accurate models of RISC-V cores and FreeBSD/RISC-V and Device Drivers, with a third talk to be confirmed. The first will be given by Edward Jones of Embecosm, who will a present a report of their experience bringing up cycle-accurate models of two cores in particular, RI5CY from the PuLP project, and Clifford Wolf’s PicoRV32.
The second talk, from Ruslan Bukin, a Research Associate at University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, will describe the current status of FreeBSD/RISC-V, toolchain and supported simulators. Ruslan will also cover the porting process, in addition to describing the latest changes made to FreeBSD in order to support the latest RISC-V privilege specification (v1.10).
