RISCVSysteme

RISCVSysteme is a collaborative initiative focused on RISC-V system design and open hardware. It coordinates research, development, and education to advance the RISC-V ecosystem and publishes reference designs, contributes IP cores, and supports tooling to make RISC-V platforms more accessible.

The organization conducts work in architecture, microarchitecture, and SoC integration, including multicore processors, accelerators, and memory subsystems. It develops open-source RTL IP cores, verification environments, and porting guides for software stacks.

Deliverables include reference boards and FPGA prototyping platforms, RTL IP cores, and end-to-end development kits. It provides documentation, tutorials, and test suites to help researchers and small companies adopt RISC-V in embedded and system-on-chip contexts.

RISCVSysteme engages with the wider community by collaborating with universities, industry partners, and standardization groups to align with RISC-V specifications. It supports open collaboration, reproducible research, benchmarking initiatives, and public releases that have influenced education and industry adoption.

Governance and licensing: the initiative emphasizes open-source licensing and aims for permissive terms to maximize reuse. It operates with a transparent governance model and maintains public repositories of designs and documentation.
