Ashling Microsystems Limited, a leading supplier of high-performance embedded software and hardware tools, today announced that it has joined the OpenHW Group.
Ashling provides development tools and related engineering services for a range of embedded 32-bit and 64-bit processor cores. As a member of the OpenHW Group, Ashling will work with the engineering team to support planned cores, including the CORE-V family of RISC-V based open-source cores.
A current OpenHW Group project, the CORE-V Chassis SoC, includes the CORE-V family of open-source RISC-V cores, such as a Linux-capable 64-bit processor coupled with a 32-bit coprocessor. OpenHW aims to tape out a heterogeneous multi-core processor evaluation SoC capable of running Linux during the second half of 2020.
Ashling’s development tools are already available for a range of RISC-V processors. In addition, RiscFree™ IDE supports heterogeneous multicore debug for both RISC-V and non-RISC-V architectures.
