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.

Recommendations for RISC-V on FPGA
Hello. I'm looking into implementing RISC-V on an FPGA for a school project. The two repos I'm looking into using are the Ariane and RocketChip repos. Both look actively maintained, but RocketChip has more recent releases, and it's used by this other repo that creates a block design in Vivado with the RISC-V RTL. However, we would also like to be able to make changes to the core, and I'm afraid that scala/Chisel might be difficult to learn. Ariane looks like SystemVerilog while RocketChip is mostly Chisel. Does any have recommendations on which RISC-V repo would be good to use for a project?

Capital required to design and manufacture smartphones/computers in US
There are 108 RISC-V cores that have been created so far (according to this list), but only a couple are 64 bit, open source and powerful enough that you would want to use them (like Shakti, CVA6 and NutShell)

How many more years until we have a completely open source RISC-V SOC?
At this stage, it could make sense for e.g. universities to start developing peripherals & controllers targeted at ASIC rather than creating yet-another-core (https://riscv.org/exchange/cores-socs/ has 107 lines already for cores), leveraging an OSHW ASIC-proven core from e.g. the OpenHW group (https://github.com/openhwgroup/cva6). Manufacturing in not-so-old processes is affordable for teaching institutions (e.g. https://europractice-ic.com/ in Europe), and taping out working cores is no longer a 'new' thing (e.g. http://asic.ethz.ch/all/years.html ).

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.
What are some alternatives?
