Applications/Examples of results
RISC-V is an open architecture processor that has begun to be adopted in many real products in recent years. For example, in the "Amazfit" series of smartwatches, RISC-V-based custom chips are utilized for heart rate sensor control, and RISC-V has also been officially adopted in SSD controllers by Western Digital. Additionally, wireless modules such as ESP32-C3/C6/P4 have been implemented in a wide range of products, including smart plugs and IoT sensors, with a wealth of mass production achievements. In the industrial equipment sector, Microchip's PolarFire SoC and StarFive's VisionFive 2 are used for Linux-based embedded control and edge AI development. RISC-V is evolving as a technology that is not just for research purposes but is actually "being used," and its adoption is rapidly expanding in fields such as sensors, displays, and camera control.
