Boffins propose RISC-V microcontroller to power cubesats

Test chip promises crunching on par with 20-year-old chips while sipping power

RISC-V's open source instruction set has attracted a lot of attention over the past few years and not just here on Earth - a team at ETH Zurich in Switzerland say they've developed a low power, fault-tolerant microcontroller for cubesats based on the architecture....
