Popular RISC-V news - India launches Digital India RISC-V program Out of all the popular news around hardware, the above one has caught most of the attention, especially among students and new entrants looking forward to working in RISC-V The news says, "*India launches Digital India RISC-V (DIR-V) program for next-generation microprocessors to achieve commercial silicon and Design wins by December 2023*". This is a huge decision, in fact, the responsibility of everyone to make this happen. VSD will be doing its bit by conducting a sponsored 5-day RISC-V workshop which is completely online, fully open and hand-curated for freshers and experienced participants. Here's the registration link (registration closes in 24-hrs) https://www.vlsisystemdesign.com/riscv-based-myth/ VSD definitely wishes all participants to come up with their own innovative and basic RISC-V product ideas after the workshop completes. But to do that, make sure you give your 100% to the RISC-V labs for the 5-days duration of the workshop, which starts from a very basic "Hello World" C program and a very basic 2-input MUX logic gate. If you are aware of these 2 prerequisites, you are all set to join the workshop Three more prerequisites to complete the workshop 1) 100% Focus 2) 100% Persistence 3) 100% dedication As an outcome of this workshop, let's all collectively aim for complete end-to-end open-source RISC-V-based product ideas as this year's target. All the best and happy learning
