RISC-V, an Open Source Solution for Space Flight Computers

Pronounced RISK-Five, RISC-V is the latest implementation of the MIPS architecture, in an open source configuration. The project kicked off in 2018 at the University of California, Berkeley.It was announced in 1996. Multiple companies now offer 32 and 64-bit RISC-V chips. The RISC-V architecture is making inroads on the popular ARM embedded architecture.
