Listen Later

In this episode Martin and Chris take a trip down memory lane and explore the origins of reduced instruction set computers, the little buggers that - for example - power most of today's smartphone on the planet. But this is merely an intro to todays's topic, the RISC-V processor architecture purely built on FLOSS principals. So if you're interested in open source hardware and how to participate in this exciting new approach to community-designed and -built hardware, don't miss this episode.
