The Internet of Things (IoT) demands small, power-efficient devices capable of edge computing and AI. RISC-V is becoming the de facto ISA for IoT, with SiFive IP deployed in billions of devices.
SiFive offers two key approaches:
- Deeply Embedded: Processors designed for specific tasks with no access for the application developer to modify functionality, such as security subsystems and I/O management.
- IoT: Programmable processors for a wide range of applications, offering flexibility, low power, high performance, and a diverse software ecosystem. Use cases include consumer security cameras, factory control systems, and connected devices.
SiFive’s Essential products provide a range of configurations to meet the needs of embedded applications, enabling tailored solutions.
