Eclipse Foundation showcases open source innovation at embedded world 2026; Releases 2025 IoT and Embedded Survey Report
The Eclipse Foundation, one of the world’s largest open source software foundations, will highlight the accelerating role of open source in embedded systems and IoT at embedded world 2026, taking place March 10–12 in Nuremberg, Germany.
Introducing the European Unified RISC-V IP Access Platform (UAP)
In this article, Florian Wohlrab, head of the OpenHW Foundation, introduces us to a first-of-its-kind collection of EU-developed RISC-V components, giving industry and academia access to verified, industry-ready semiconductor intellectual property (IP) from leading European contributors.
Unlocking performance and efficiency gains in AI, image, and signal processing
High Performance, Minimal Power: How OpenHW Foundation’s CV32E20X core and CV-X-IF interface helped unlock performance and efficiency gains in AI, image, and signal processing for Synthara.
Can’t fork a semiconductor? Hold my beer… Introducing the Unified RISC-V IP Access Platform
Why buy a bottle when you can have your own keg? Open source hardware might not shout “free beer” but the new Unified RISC-V IP Access Platform, maintained by OpenHW Foundation, is just that – free recipes for your own free-flowing beer. From CVA6 superscalers to UVM support on Verilator, Chips JU project TRISTAN has united Europe’s biggest industry players with academia to move open source semiconductors from the lab to the real world. Now with the UAP, you can benefit from all of this hard work. In this talk, you’ll get uncensored access to recent advancements in European RISC-V, and a demonstration of how you can immediately leverage industry-ready open source designs from projects across Europe, all explained with glorious beer.
The OpenHW Foundation unveils the first industry-ready RISC-V ecosystem to advance European digital sovereignty
The OpenHW Foundation, a global leader in developing RISC-V core IP, today announced the launch of the Unified RISC-V IP Access Platform (UAP) as part of the TRISTAN project. The UAP represents Europe’s first comprehensive collection of industry-ready RISC-V components. As interest in digital sovereignty continues to grow, particularly within the European Union, the UAP makes it significantly easier for technology organisations to innovate based on an open, sovereign foundation.
StarRISC: Rad-hard RISC-V for outerspace!
Join Dr Li Chen and Christopher Elash, from the University of Saskatchewan, to explore how their STARRLab team is taking RISC-V from the lab to orbit, with a fully taped-out, space-ready ASIC based on OpenHW Foundation’s CORE-V-MCU.
