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.

SPI PROTOCOL in FPGA
In contrast to most people here saying you NEED to spend money. I disagree with that. You can implement and simulate a SPI master/slave fully on your computer, no FPGA or other hardware required. There are simulation models for SPI peripherals you could use. For example: https://github.com/YosysHQ/picorv32/blob/master/picosoc/spiflash.v

How many gates does a decent risc-v implementation take?
The Pico RV32 is pretty small, and can go as low as about 750 LUTs, with most features elided. I don't know how Xilinix LUTs translate to Lattice though.

Minimax: a Compressed-First, Microcoded RISC-V CPU
In short: it works, though the implementation lacks the crystal clarity of FemtoRV32 and PicoRV32. The core is larger than SERV but has higher IPC and (very arguably) a more conventional implementation. The compressed instruction set is easier to expand into regular RV32I instructions than it is to execute directly.

Apple to Move a Part of Its Embedded Cores to RISC-V
That is, reducing the number of LUT required to implement a CPU of a given ISA.
A basic RV32 CPU is down to 500-700 LUT.

Designing a reasonable memory interface
I've bought a cheap FPGA board (Sipeed Tang Nano 9K) because I want to implement a little 8 or 16-bit CPU. The FPGA has plenty of BRAM for such a little CPU, so I wouldn't even need to implement an SPI controller initially, but I want to implement a von Neumann architecture, and was wondering if the only way of doing so using single port (or semi dual port) RAM would be to use 2 cycles or more for memory transfer operations (one for loading the instruction, one for executing the actual memory transfer), or if there was any technique that could be used to avoid this without having to implement instruction-level parallelism. Even if not, references to understandable code implementing a simple memory interface would be appreciated. I looked at PicoRV32 but couldn't really understand its inner workings.

Need help with implementing a media player using FPGAs ?
What I mean is that you use the FPGA fabric to implement a soft-core CPU, like MicroBlaze (Xilinx) or Nios II (Altera/Intel) or RISC-V or any other CPU you like. Then you can do the MP3 or WAV signal decoding in software, which will be orders of magnitude easier to do than to do it in hardware. For a media player, this is more than adequate.

US Government reportedly ponders crimping China's use of RISC-V
> I'm pretty sure that SiFive isn't allowed to sell their RISC-V core designs to any Chinese company already.
The JH7110 SoC from the Chinese firm Starfive uses SiFive's U74 core. Eswin, also Chinese uses SiFive's P550 core in their upcoming EIC7700 SoC.
> All Chinese RISC-V core designs have been proprietary designs thus far.
There is the OpenC910 [1] and OpenXiangShan [2].

Is RISC-V ready for HPC? Evaluating the 64-core Sophon SG2042 RISC-V CPU
Note that the C910 CPU cores used in this chip are in fact open source:

China Deploys RISC-V Server in Commercial Cloud
More precisely, a Chinese university assembled a rack containing 48 [1] commercially available SBCs [2], each with a Chinese-designed and made SG2042 SoC with 64 C910 CPU cores. The C910 was designed in China in 2018/19 and open-sourced in October 2021, on Microsoft's github site.
https://github.com/T-head-Semi/openc910
The SG2042 is the most powerful RISC-V SoC available today.
In which direction is the technology transfer going?

Raspberry Pi receives strategic investment from Arm
For "coming down the pipeline" they're essentially free.
Today, the c910 is an Apache 2, hardware proven out of order core on GitHub here https://github.com/T-head-Semi/openc910 a little slower than an RPi3's core.

ARMβs Cortex A53: Tiny but Important
It's a shame, because it was the best design from ARM; they're now focusing on Cortex-A7x and Cortex-X, which aren't anywhere as power efficient[0].
Meanwhile, their revised Cortex-A57 has been surpassed in performance/power/area by several RISC-V microarchitectures, such as SiFive's U74[1], used in the VisionFive2 and Star64, or even the open source XuanTie C910[2][3].
