The RISC-V architecture, originally designed to satisfy research requirements at the University of California, Berkeley, has enabled the development of fully open-source computing systems. This breakthrough, while critical for the establishment of a fully free computing environment, has not led to the development of many consumer electronics. Doing so would require the development of custom chips, input/output systems, and related firmware and drivers for a fully free and open-source operating s...
