“Professional toolsets and a broad ecosystem are critical for the commercial growth and swift advancement of RISC-V technologies, and we are excited to work with an industry leader like Ashling to augment our capabilities for customers and provide strong support for our VEGA RISC-V multi-core microprocessors through a complete toolchain.” – Krishnakumar Rao, Senior Director and Head, Hardware Design Group, C-DAC Trivandrum, India.

RiscFree is Ashling’s SDK including an IDE, compiler and debugger and provides software development, debug & trace support for RISC-V cores. Since its introduction, Ashling’s RiscFree SDK has been steadily building market share within the embedded tools market and is particularly strong in the RISC-V market where its ease-of-use, broad functionality, plug-in architecture and real-time trace support have made it the go-to-choice for 32-bit and 64-bit RISC core software development. Ashling has a particular focus on RISC-V and is the first to bring tools to the market supporting heterogeneous, simultaneous, multi-core debugging and tracing of both RISC-V and Arm cores.
“Since launching, Ashling’s RiscFree SDK has rapidly gained momentum in the embedded tools landscape, particularly in the RISC-V arena, and is praised for its user-friendly design, comprehensive features, modular structure, and solid support for both multi-core and real-time trace functionality. Our partnership with C-DAC allows their end-users to leverage the exceptional performance of the VEGA multi-core, RISC-V microprocessors, further enriching our suite of products and establishing a new benchmark in software development tools for both 32-bit and 64-bit RISC-V environments.” – Ravi Nuguri, Strategy and Business Development Advisor, Ashling India.
