DI-GATE-V
Highly Optimized Open-Source RISC-V Processors for Universal Applications
DI-GATE-V develops highly optimized open-source RISC-V processor cores for general-purpose applications. The open RISC-V architecture forms the basis for sovereign and transparent processor development.
Objectives and Approach
The project develops a new RISC-V processor family for edge and embedded applications and releases it fully as open source. Accompanying tools are developed to enable straightforward adaptation, optimization, and synthesis of the processors for various use cases and hardware platforms.
Innovations and Perspectives
FPGA synthesis tools are often bulky and accessible only after paid registration. Modern open-source alternatives reduce entry barriers for young talent and improve the flexibility, interoperability, and efficiency of design chains.
