RISC-V International Ratifies 15 New Specifications Opening Up New Possibilities for RISC-V Designs

RISC-V is bringing together different companies and industries, combining a modular technical approach with an open license business model for the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). RISC-V International, the global non-profit open hardware standards organization, incorporated in Switzerland, just announced a new set of specifications that will be key for advanced audio applications using machine learning (ML).

Microchip's new Wi-Fi SDK with Apple HomeKit support enables MFi licensees to create fast, low-power designs on the industry’s first hardware cryptography-enabled Wi-Fi-based development kit for HomeKit. The SDK leverages hardware-based calculations to create fast, low-power solutions, providing an optimized customer experience that dramatically reduces execution time for HomeKit commands and provides pairing speeds of less than one tenth of a second.

Silicon Labs announced a major expansion of its Wireless Gecko system-on-chip (SoC) portfolio, making it easier for developers of all skill levels to add versatile multiprotocol switching capabilities to increasingly complex applications. The new EFR32xG12 SoCs support a broader range of multiprotocol, multiband use cases for home automation, connected lighting, wearables and industrial applications.
