RISC-V Developer Workshops

The Future Runs on RISC-V: Get Hands-On, Explore Possibilities, Build Solutions

This event is for developers currently working on RISC-V or interested in increasing their knowledge in the open standard. You will benefit from training sessions and hands-on workshops, moving beyond theoretical knowledge to direct application.
You’ll learn what works today, experiment with tools, and discover how RISC-V is redefining hardware and software co-design and giving you freedom to create your own solutions.

Join us and work directly with proven techniques from the pros, and start building right away.

What’s RISC-V

RISC-V is a flexible open standard ISA that anyone can use to build everything from tiny sensors to supercomputers. With no licensing fees and freedom of choice, it lets developers co-design hardware and software, giving them more control over performance, customization, and long-term design choices while being supported by a rapidly growing global ecosystem.

Why You Should Consider RISC-V

Growing Adoption & Industry Momentum: RISC-V is already used in mainstream products such as AI chips, storage controllers, embedded MCUs, SSDs, wearables, and laptops. It is backed by industry leaders including Google, NVIDIA, Intel, Qualcomm, Alibaba, and Andes, and supported by governments worldwide. Adoption is projected to grow over 30%, reflecting strong growth across industries and a vibrant ecosystem of members providing hardware, software, processors, and services. For developers, this means access to a booming ecosystem and opportunities across diverse industries.
Freedom to Innovate: No licensing fees, no royalties, and no risk of access being revoked. For developers, this means freedom of choice with lower total cost, less risk, and sovereignty.
Hardware & Software Co-Design: Software and hardware can be co-designed with custom extensions for domain-specific performance (AI, crypto). Hardware developers benefit from custom instructions and modularity.
Software Support & Expanding Ecosystem: Toolchains (GCC, LLVM, GDB, QEMU, Linux distros, RTOSes) are mature, and platform support (Zephyr, RedHat, Android, Debian, openSUSE, Fedora, Yocto) is growing.
Hardware Support & Innovation: Flexible licensing enables open source processors designed by communities like OpenHW and ChipsAlliance.

Pain Points RISC-V Solves

Customizability: developers can add instructions or tailor the ISA to specific workloads (AI, crypto, domain-specific computing) in ways other ISA don’t allow.
Transparency and accessibility: open standards and open-source cores reduce barriers compared to proprietary systems.
Consistency across domains: same ISA scales from embedded to data center, making skills transferable. Enables common software toolchains.
