Elektor Lab Talk #28: Exploring RISC-V: An Open-Source Revolution in Embedded Development
Join Lab Talk #28 live! Explore RISC-V’s rise, IoT/AI applications, and dev tools with Brian Tristam Williams, Jens Nickel, and engineers Vincent Defert, Jean-François Simon, and Saad Imtiaz.
Join editor Brian Tristam Williams and editor-in-chief Jens Nickel for Lab Talk #28, where we’ll talk shop as usual, and this time explore the cutting-edge world of RISC-V, the open-source architecture revolutionizing embedded development.
Vincent Defert, an experienced IT trainer and embedded systems expert, along with Elektor engineers Jean-François Simon and Saad Imtiaz, will join us around our virtual roundtable to look at the RISC-V ecosystem, including:
• The rise of RISC-V: An open-source challenger to ARM.
• How RISC-V fosters innovation and reduces costs in embedded development.
• Practical applications of RISC-V in IoT, AI, and more.
• Insights into development boards and tools for RISC-V.
• Why open-source architecture is the future of microcontrollers.
