@jlw_the_jobber It is just you.
If you follow the #RISCV hashtag or setup some google alerts, you‘ll see a lot of movement in China and Europe. Lots of designs for AI and embedded systems.
Linux support is also increasing (see recent Kernel and Ubuntu release).
La RTS parle de #riscv !
La course à la suprématie dans le secteur des semi-conducteurs attise les tensions géopolitiques entre les superpuissances. Une technologie basée sur des logiciels libres (ou open source) basée en Suisse vise à empêcher un monopole.
M5Stamp C6LoRa tiny (18×15×2.3 mm) SMD module pairs ESP32-C6 with SX1262 LoRa chip
The M5Stamp C6LoRa is a compact LoRa SMD module that combines the ESP32-C6 Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth LE, and 802.15.4 microcontroller with the SX1262 LoRa transceiver for both high-speed and long-distance communication. The module targets applications such as smart agriculture, remote meter reading, industrial monitoring, and outdoor long-range wireless control systems. The module measures 18 × 15 × 2.3 mm, making it suitable for space-constrained systems and compact embedded designs. M5Stack has also added an SGM13005L4 low-noise amplifier (LNA) to improve reception performance, along with a PI4IOE5V6408 I/O expander that manages the LoRa control signals without using too many of the ESP32-C6’s GPIO pins. M5Stamp C6LoRa specifications: SoC – Espressif Systems ESP32-C6 CPU Single-core 32-bit RISC-V clocked up to 160 MHz Low-power RISC-V core @ up to 20 MHz Memory/Storage – 512KB SRAM, 320KB ROM Wireless - WiFi 6, BLE 5.3, 802.15.4 (See wireless section) Storage – 16 MB external NOR flash
I‘ve upgraded 🏝️ Isle with the FemtoRV32 "Gracilis" CPU (RV32IMC); it even has interrupt support, which we’ll make use of later. 😄
I’ll release the next Isle chapter soon, with keyboard input and the start of our #RISCV software library. There’s simulation with graphics for Linux/Mac/Windows too.

Not quite as good as it would be with 2x widening instructions, and non accumulating variants (like SSE), but still quite nice. Especially how the sifts worked out.
