Linux was developed personal computers in mind, which were then working on Intel’s x86 architecture. Now machines of all specs like Servers, Emembedded devices, Mobile devices, Most of them runs on Linux. RISC-V , architecture of THEJAS 64 SoC now supports Linux and is available at official Linux git repository.
RISC-V (pronounced “risk-five”) is an open source instruction set architecture (ISA) based on established reduced instruction set computing (RISC) principles.
The project was originated in 2010 by researchers in the Computer Science Division at UC Berkeley, but many contributors are volunteers and industry workers that are unaffiliated with the university
With a powerful RISC-V SoC, 256MB of RAM, 10/100 Ethernet, THEJAS 64 SoC boots Linux in ease.
THEJAS64 is an SoC based on VEGA AS1061 Microprocessor which is a 64-bit 6-stage in-order RISC-V processor core. It is capable of delivering high performance with branch prediction for efficient branch execution and Instruction & Data Caches. The peripherals that are available in THEJAS64 SoC are 10/100 Ethernet, Interrupt Controller, Timers, DDR RAM, SRAM, SPI, UART, I2C, PWM, ADC and External interrupt capable GPIOs.
Official Linux port for THEJAS 64 SoC is available at Vega Processor git repository . You can even grab pre-compiled images from this repository.
