Nakuba umhlaba we Hardware Libre Iya ngokuya iba nkulu futhi ibanzi, kusekhona izakhi ezingakhululekile. Izingxenye zezingxenyekazi zekhompuyutha ezihlala zingokobunikazi kodwa njengoba zijwayelekile, zingasetshenziswa nanoma iyiphi isofthiwe.
Enye yezinto eziyinkinga kakhulu zehardware kulokhu ibilokhu futhi iyi-microprocessor. Yize kukhona ama-processor wamahhala, amandla abo awasona ngisho isigamu samandla amaprosesa okuphathelene nokuphathelene. Kepha kuze kube manje. Muva nje kusungulwe iprosesa yamahhala enamandla afanayo nabaprosesa bekhompyutha.
Le processor entsha ibizwa ngokuthi I-RISC-V, iprosesa elungele amaseva, amakhompyutha nama-mobiles. I-RISC-V yiprosesa yamahhala ngokuphelele esebenza kunoma iyiphi ipulatifomu, evumela ukwakhiwa kwama-processor amafoni omakhalekhukhwini, amaphilisi noma ama-laptops.
I-RISC-V ingasebenza kuzingxenyekazi zeselula ezifana namathebulethi noma ama-smartphone
Ukusebenza kwe-RISC-V kungokoqobo kangangokuba sekuvele kunezinkampani ezigxila emabhizinisini azo ekwakheni le processor. Inkampani ethembisa kakhulu esebenzisa i-RISC-V ibizwa nge-SiFive, inkampani egxila kumodeli yayo yebhizinisi ku-processor, kepha ingakhokhisi i-processor kepha ukwakhiwa noma ukusatshalaliswa kwayo. Okunye Izinkampani ezibalulekile zibe nentshisekelo kule processor, izinkampani ezifana neMicrosoft, Google noma iNvidia.
I-RISC-V inikeza ithuba lokuba nepulatifomu engama-32-bit noma ipulatifomu engama-64-bit, njengamaphrosesa amanje. Lokhu kuzovumela izinkundla Hardware Libre njenge-Raspberry Pi, i-Orange Pi noma i-Arduino ingaba nephrosesa enamandla ngemali encane futhi mahhala ngokuphelele.
En iwebhusayithi esemthethweni ye-RISC-V Uzothola imininingwane eminingi ngokwakhiwa, imiyalo nokusabalalisa kwale processor. Iprosesa emele ushintsho olukhulu kuwo wonke amapulatifomu, hhayi inkululeko yayo kuphela kepha futhi neqiniso lokuthi kuzokwenza amadivayisi amaningi ashibhile okwamanje angabizi kumaphakethe amaningi.
