Tim Morin of Microchip Technology, Inc.

Join us for an overview of Microchip's latest Polarfire SoC FPGA offering architected around RISC-V CPU cores. The RISC-V CPU architecture is making its way into more and more products and is gaining on the marketshare of proprietary CPUs such as ARM and x86. SoC FPGA's have been including proprietary CPU hard IP cores for many years now, but this move to RISC-V is an interesting development especially with the recent plans of NVIDIA to acquire ARM. Beyond the Polarfire SoC FPGA overview, also included in the presentation, Tim Morin will make the case for RISC-V, the SiFive's RISC-V cores and how they compare to ARM cores, Microchip's supporting tools and ecosystem with RTOS, middleware, and development kits.
