source RISC-V ISA developed within the labs of the University of California at Berkeley has created a significant buzz in the embedded industry, however. The much talked-about RISC-V ISA was developed on the premise that any designer could use it to create processor cores and software compilers. The project is now run by the RISC-V Foundation, with members that include a wide range of universities and multinational technology companies (Google, IBM, Microsoft, NVIDIA and Oracle, most notably), as well as chip makers and startups.
