RISC-V is trying to launch an open-hardware revolution | Upscaled

[@CattoRayTube]

That's a good analogy for explaining the proprietary add-ons, actually. There are non-free Linuxes with closed components out there, but that hasn't damaged the platform. It'd be nice if it was all open, but hey, capitalism's gotta ruin things somewhere haha

Making a chip is very expensive. No patch allowed post tape-out. 80% of the cost goes into verification, it is a painful process, whatever the architecture. More freedom->More variants-> higher cost

Excellent explanation , best I have seen so far. Please do more on RISC-V. One of the things that gets missed is that the ISA just covers the CPU not the rest of the components on an SoC. Also the licensing allows a chip designer using the ISA to keep the chip design closed ( proprietary ).

Had Nvidia been smart - and I posted this on a couple of sites a year or more ago - they would have bought AMD instead of ARM and would have also purchased Xilinx. This would allow them to compete with the accelerator stack at Intel - which has CPU,. GPU. FPGA and AI accelerators... Nvidia would pick up a viable CPU, Radeon Tech Grp & Nvidia would pool resources on GPUs - specifically for compute cards - and with Xilinx - yet another part of the puzzle.... the Google Tensor Processing Units are practically the industry standard for AI... and since Volta (including Turing and Ampere) Nvidia has had TPUs in it's designs. But idiot tech analysts started the Pump n Dump of AMD - the Dump hasn't happened YET - but it's coming - AMD is at most a $10B company - not a $100B company. Intel has the best CPUs, their Xe HP will destroy Nvidia in the data center and has the industry leading Altera FPGAs, and Habana for AI - Things are changing - especially with CXL coming this year.

The RISC-V instruction set is freely available. That increases the likelihood of hardware designs implementing that ISA being available. However, it doesn't automatically guarantee all intellectual property (IP) for those designs being "free". That is an important distinction.

RISC V doesn't perform speculative execution. It is naturally immune. It doesn't perform out-of-order execution if I understand correctly. I'm an enthusiast and obviously welcome polite correction. This will have to be addressed in the future. As long as this is done openly, people far, far smarter than me will find a way. I have a lot of faith in this ISA. Please design a Linux friendly Workstation class CPU so I can buy it...

[@pscheie]

I don't think there's anything in RISC-V that prevents or prohibits branch speculation; it's just that no RISC-V chip designs implement it, because, well, problems. I think we're at least a year away from a RISC-V PC, although several groups are working RPi-like RISC-V design boards. SiFive's new president seems keen on pushing for some sort of Linux-capable RISC-V workstation so more developers can work on the software tools for it. SiFive's first 64-bit dev board cost $999; they only made 1000 of them and quickly sold out. They just announced a new 64-bit dev board for $650. MicroChip announced their 64-bit Linux capable dev board for $499 (I think it just started shipping or will shortly). The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a member of the RISC-V Foundation, so obviously they're watching its development, as are several other companies that make RPi-size SBCs.

@@satibel Selling USB hardware, such as on a SOC as you describe, requires a license from the USB Implementers' Forum, which will limit how low the price can get on the SOC. The USB-IF is a non-profit and the license fees go toward maintaining the USB spec and future development, so it's not that such licensing is a bad idea. But it will add to the cost. On the RPi, the Broadcom chip cost is almost incidental; it's all the other components, buses, and interfaces that make up most of the cost of the board.

RISC-V itself is just as vulnerable to timing side channel attacks like Spectre and Meltdown. It's biggest advantage in terms of Security is that RISC-V designs do not suffer from the legacy problem as other processors do. People are nowadays more aware of these attacks when designing IP for security critical applications. There are, however, already a varierty of timing side channel attacks shown on RISC-V cores. It all depends on how certain mechanism, e.g. branch prediction, are implemented in hardware.

RISC once had a large segment of the business server market prior to x86 CPUs becoming more powerful and overtaking them in performance due to Moore's law. Most of these older RISC systems were designed from the ground up by each vendor for its own performance goals in the server market and had their own flavor of Unix (not linux) or other custom operating system designed to go with the hardware.
