The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

How many more years until we have a completely open source RISC-V SOC?
Most of them might still be missing on the ASIC side, but already exist to some extent on the FPGA side. Litex (https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex/) is adding support for the USB host (ohci-compatible) developed for Saxon (https://github.com/SpinalHDL/SaxonSoc), in addition to the DRAM, Ethernet (MII, GMII, some RGMII), micro-sd, UART, HDMI framebuffer, ... peripherals that are already supported.

Hold on there: WPA3 connections fail after 11 hours
There is some open source firmware for very old WiFi chips:

Ask HN: How to get started with 5G as a software developer
You could try the Xilinx ZC706 with an ADI9361 based FMCOMMS board. The OpenWIFI team has a few configurations listed on their readme that are popular: https://github.com/open-sdr/openwifi. I think these setups will still cost >$1000USD and require considerable effort to get going - I don’t know of a <$1000 SDR setup for 5G development that would be easy to setup and get going with. Curious if anyone knows of one.

BladeRF-wiphy: open-source IEEE 802.11 compatible Software Defined Radio modem
Nice one Nuand, the BladeRF v2 looks like a very interesting alternative SDR modem to the cheaper Adalm Pluto educational kit by Analog Devices, the manufacturer of the transceiver chip being used by the BladeRF v2.
There is another alternative open source WiFi stack, openwifi and it has been discussed in HN before [2][3].
