W04.2 Open Source Software & Support Technologies for Open Source Hardware
Besides IP blocks addressed in the previous session, open source hardware requires several software technologies that benefit from open source collaboration. First of all software development tools, such as compilers, debugger, bootloaders, operating system, runtime frameworks, etc. Then design tools like FPGA compilers, CAD tools, simulators, emulators, validation tools, etc. Finally yet importantly, security benefits from open source at every level of the hardware and software stack. This session will report on several contributions these support technologies, and discuss the main upcoming issues of this field.
W04.2.1 Supporting open source hardware to enable commercial adoption
W04.2.2 Adding support for RISC-V “V” vector extension in LLVM.
W04.2.3 Improving security through open source hardware
W04.2.4 Simulation of RISC-V 128-bit extension in QEMU
W04.2.5 Panel with the speakers on Open Software & Support Technologies for Open Source Hardware
Q&A session with the audience and panel discussion on Open Software & Support Technologies for Open Source Hardware.
