RISC-V Summit: Microchip to debut BeagleBoard hardware

01 November 2023

Microchip Technology Inc. will showcase its expanded RISC-V-based devices and design tools including a new BeagleBoard hardware and system-on-module (SoM) at the upcoming 2023 RISC-V Summit.

According to Microchip, to create complex intelligent edge solutions that can handle demanding workloads, engineers need field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) with enough power, enhanced asymmetric compute, real-time artificial intelligence (AI) inferencing, advanced security solutions and system-level design tools.

Microchip’s RISC-V instruction set manual is used to develop a proprietary instruction set architectures with flexible caches asymmetric processing on single application class clusters that can also support bare metal development and real-time applications, as well as efficient inferencing for AI/ML.

These platforms are used in demanding designs for applications like:

  • Industrial
  • Communications
  • Medical
  • Automotive
  • Internet of things
  • Aviation
  • Defense

Further at the show, Microchip will unveil its updated software design tools to include high level synthesis (HLS) for system designers as well as software development kits for vector-based processing used in AI/ML inferencing.

Microchip will discuss these matters and other system-level issues during its keynote address at the tradeshow taking place Nov. 7-8 in Santa Clara, California.
