Neat, but way too expensive and not open source hardware.https://twitter.com/edgetriggered/status/959870903441133569 …

@edgetriggered wait, i thought the cpu was open hardware. what part of it isnt open? i was so excited.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

I think there's a distinction that many are missing: RISC-V is an open instruction set architecture. That does not mean a processor or system-on-chip implementing the specification is also inherently open hardware by extension.

definitely, i can see how that can be misconstrued. what part of this is still a blob then in terms of architecture? is it the TileLink components?pic.twitter.com/stHVfkoQAr

I can't speak for
@RichFelker but perhaps the concern is the availability of reference board design files or maybe licensing requirements to produce a modified system-on-chip.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
The actual SOC chip design is not open source - not published at all much less licensed under a free license.
