lowRISC

lowRISC is a non-profit open hardware organization that aims to develop open hardware.[1] As of 2018, the lowRISC system on a chip was still in development.[2] lowRISC is intended to be a RISC-V 64-bit SoC that can run Linux, but it lacks a GPU.[3]

The non-profit is being led by Robert Mullins, based in UK, and receives support from the University of Cambridge. As of September 2020, the project website lists Andy Hopper, Treasurer and Vice-President of the Royal Society and former head of the University of Cambridge Department of Computer Science and Technology, as the board chair. Alex Bradbury is co-founder and CTO and has worked as the upstream maintainer for the LLVM RISC-V backend.

History

lowRISC emerged from the University of Cambridge Computer Lab, where its early work was supported by a private donation and a grant from Google.
