| gr8 | Hi, I have a question. I am seeing a lot of communities publishing open designs, like open RISC, libreCores etc., but are any of these processors actually manufactured? | 15:27 |
|---|---|---|
| gr8 | I think for some use cases it would actually be beneficial to use 100% open source hardware, down to the processor | 15:28 |
| gr8 | e.g. trusted computing, maybe networking devices, research etc. | 15:28 |
| gr8 | I think starting a company which offers to manufacture these things could be an interesting business opportunity | 15:29 |
| gr8 | or am I missing something? | 15:30 |
| ZipCPU | gr8: To my knowledge, OpenRISC has hit ASIC-silicon. To my knowledge, it hasn't "taken-off" yet, but it has been placed into silicon. | 16:56 |
| ZipCPU | The RISC-V processor has also been placed into Silicon. | 16:56 |
| ZipCPU | If the Lord remains willing, I'll also be placing the ZipCPU into Silicon as well. | 16:56 |
| gr8 | ok thanks, I'll look into it. Good night! | 17:36 |
