I just posted about this in another thread of this mailing list, specifically about RISC-V.
... where?
Hopefully somebody will make some in silicon rather than FPGA, either lowrisc, SiFive, or somebody else.
Also I forgot to mention the SH4 architecture with patents expired or expiring, and the intention to create the "J" cores, we'll see how it goes.
I rather hope for a solid discussion of the merits of the campaign, as opposed to people just claiming that it can't be done, won't work, or whatever.
I really believe that it CAN be done and that it WILL work, sooner or later ;)
it will... once people realise that the key bit that's hard is not the processor core, it's the management and sourcing of the hard macros *surrounding* the processor core.
