Sesikhulumile kwezinye izikhathi mayelana nehadiwe yamahhala kanye nephrojekthi ye-opencores.org, lapho kunamaphrojekthi amaningi wemithombo evulekile, kufaka phakathi ama-microprocessor athakazelisayo afana ne-OpenSPARC, njll. Manje inkampani ISiFive idale ibhodi yentuthuko ehambisana ne-Arduino esebenzisa enye yalezi chips. Lokho kwenza i-hardware ivuleke kakhulu futhi ibe nezici eziningi ze-microprocessor eziyala ukuthi zaziwe.
Ipuleti ngokhonkolo ibizwa ngokuthi i-HiFive1, kanye nesici sayo esiyinhloko, noma okungenani okugqame kakhulu, ngoba kunamabhodi amaningi ahambisanayo noma ahambisana ne-Arduino, yilokho kanye, kokufaka i-MCU noma iyunithi ye-microcontroller enomthombo ovulekile we-CPU ye-ISA RISC-V. Izindaba ezinhle ngokungangabazeki, nakulabo abangalwazi lolu hlobo lweprojekthi, ngiyakukhuthaza ukuthi uphenye kuwebhusayithi opencores.org, lapho uzothola khona konke kusuka kuma-microprocessors, ama-microcontroller, ama-MMU, ama-FPU, ama-ALU, izinkumbulo, njll., wonke amaphrojekthi avulekile ngaphansi kwamalayisense ahlukahlukene.
Kubukeka sengathi ipuleti lizothengiswa cishe ngama- $ 79 manje futhi lizokwehlela ku- $ 59 ngoJanuwari 2017. Isizathu esenza lokhu kudalwa ilukuluku labaphenyi, abasebenzisi kanye nezifundiswa ukuze bafunde kabanzi mayelana nokuhle Ukwakhiwa kwe-RISC-V. Yini ukubaluleka kwalawa machips, ngoba alula, kwenzeka njengasosukwini lwawo ngama-MIP noma manje ngama-ARM, anentshisekelo enkulu kubathuthukisi futhi kubonakala sengathi i-RISC-V ivusa intshisekelo yamaqembu amaningi muva nje.
I-RISC ne-MIPS yizakhiwo ezimbili ezizwakala zijwayelekile kulabo kini abajwayelene naleli zwe, ngoba zenziwa ngabantu ababili abazi kakhulu ngobuciko bamakhompyutha: UDavid Patterson (University of California) kanye UJohn hennessy (IStanford University). Hhayi-ke manje ungafunda ukubonga okwengeziwe ku-E310 SoC yaleli bhodi ene-E31 CorePlex CPU, i-32-bit ne-32Mhz RV320IMAC core enama-1.61DMIPs / Mhz akhiqizwe yi-TMSC enkulu.
