SiFive Performance Family of Products Webinar

The recently announced SiFive Performance family of processors is a significant milestone in SiFive’s commitment to delivering a complete, scalable portfolio of RISC-V cores.  In this webinar, Drew Barbier, Senior Director of Product Marketing, will introduce the Performance P270 and P550, both available now, and how SiFive continues to set the standard in RISC-V architecture.

SiFive 21G1 Release Webinar

Join us in this webinar to learn about all of the enhancements to the SiFive™ RISC-V IP portfolio introduced in the 21G1 release. Product manager Graham Wilson will dive deep into the product updates, ranging from the ultra-capable SiFive U Series to the extremely popular SiFive E Series, offering up to 35% more performance for bit processing algorithms; and up to 25% smaller code size.

SiFive Vision Solutions

As the world moves toward the next industrial revolution, the need for artificial intelligence (AI) has become a quintessential requirement. Currently, data in the form of images is used as input to process the result/output, thereby enabling the human as well as the machine to make smart and intelligent decisions based on these processed outputs. For such intelligent decision making, we need a chip that can process real time data and provide us ~100% accurate results.

Faster, More Efficient, Mission-Critical-ready 7-Series Core IP

The SiFive 7-Series is now available with more performance, new features for security and mission-critical applications, and lower power thanks to the new 20G1 6.0 update. SiFive experts Drew Barbier and Dany Nativel are joined by Jeff Hancock of Mentor Graphics to give you the details of the unique capabilities of SiFive 7-Series Core IP and why they are important for customers building secure, mission-critical capable solutions.

SiFive 20G1 Release Webinar

Join us in this webinar to learn about all of the enhancements to the SiFive™ RISC-V IP portfolio introduced in the 20G1 release, which is now available. Product manager Drew Barbier will dive deep into the product updates, including significant performance, power and area improvements, as well as new features like enhanced deterministic real-time capabilities, support for Xilinx UltraScale+-based VCU118 FPGA evaluation kit, support for FreeRTOS v.10, and the availability of fully integrated SiFive Shield™ Security and SiFive Insight™ Trace & Debug solutions. Numerous other enhancements will also be covered in this tutorial.

SiFive Storage Solutions: How RISC-V and custom silicon platforms enable smart storage architectures

Currently, there is a huge demand in the market for storage systems. Reliability, high endurance and robustness are the essential features, which are very much required for such systems. Therefore, SSD controller-based storage solutions are most preferred for data centers.

Rapid Embedded Prototyping with SiFive Software

Join us for a one-hour webinar to learn how to develop embedded software for RISC-V processors using the SiFive Freedom E SDK. We will review the environment dependencies, architecture, and implementation of the software and the processor-agnostic APIs. Based on an understanding of this, we will set up a development environment, compile, debug and run some benchmarks on a RISC-V processor. 

Embedding Intelligence Everywhere with SiFive 7 Series Core IP

As we move from the Internet of Things to the “Intelligence of Things,” compute platforms need to scale and be power efficient in order to cater to the entire spectrum of applications. In this one-hour webinar, we will see how the SiFive 7 Series Cores can enable several vertical markets and how its architecture scales across different needs.

Part III: From a Custom 2 Series Core to 'Hello World' in 30 Minutes

A walk through configuring a custom E2 core using SiFive Core Designer, and then using Freedom Studio to write software targeting the custom core in the included RTL testbench and on an FPGA.

Part II: SiFive's 2 Series Core IP

This webinar will introduce SiFive’s 2 Series Core IP, SiFive’s most-licensed Core Series. This webinar will cover the 2 Series Core architecture, the configurability of the 2 Series, and the Core Local Interrupt Controller (CLIC).

Part I: An Introduction to the RISC-V Architecture

This webinar will introduce RISC-V Architecture. It will provide an overview of RISC-V Modes, Instructions and Extensions, Control and Status Registers, and Interrupts. It is targeted at embedded developers who are new to RISC-V
