Abstract
The RISC-V community is rapidly moving beyond the limitations of the initial restricted instruction set. The enhanced instruction set architecture RVA23 provides what it takes to compete on equal footing with other architectures. Ubuntu is at the forefront of this development and has become an early adopter of this enhanced ISA.
Explore the behind-the-scenes efforts that led to this advancement and discover how it will enable Ubuntu to maintain momentum in the RISC-V eco-system.
Speaker(s) bio
Heinrich is working as RISC-V lead engineer in Canonical’s foundations team. He has contributed to a wide range of open source projects reaching from linear programming to the Linux kernel. He is maintainer of the UEFI sub-system in the U-Boot firmware.
Yuning Liang is the Founder and CEO of DeepComputing, focusing on developing innovative technology products based on RISC-V SoMs. From the world’s first RISC-V development laptop DC-ROMA to pads, workstations, remote-controlled cars, drones, and more, all are based on RISC-V chips. The world’s first RISC-V laptop, the world’s first RISC-V pad capable of making phone calls, and so on, are all Yuning’s masterpieces. Yuning’s innovation and pioneering spirit in the RISC-V field have enabled him to create several world firsts, leading DeepComputing to gain widespread recognition in the global RISC-V product commercialization field, contributing significantly to the advancement and progress of RISC-V technology. Yuning’s career has taken him from the UK to Switzerland, then to South Korea, and finally to China. He has a strong practical background in embedded systems, platform APIs, and system software. In 2024, he was honored with the “RISC-V Community Contributor Award” and recognized as a “Ubuntu Summit Contributor,” further solidifying his influence in the technology sector.
