RISC-V
SiFive, one of the world’s leading developers of controllers and SoCs based on the RISC-V instruction set, has acquired USB IP portfolio from Innovative Logic, a silicon IP designer. The move will enable SiFive to integrate competitive USB support into its RISC-V-enabled chips. Under the terms of the agreement between SiFive and Innovative Logic, the former gets all the USB-related assets of the former that include silicon-proven certified implementations of USB 2.0 as well as ‘next-generation’ USB 3.x IP blocks. The company says that the portfolio includes various implementations, including those that rely on ‘advanced process technology nodes’. The addition of in-house-developed USB IP to SiFive’s RISC-V SoCs will naturally make them more competitive for mainstream applications that rely on this interface . As part of...
