RISC-V Foundation

The RISC-V Foundation is an organization that promotes the development and adoption of the RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA), which is a standardized blueprint for how computer processors operate. Unlike other architectures, RISC-V is open-source, meaning anyone can use and modify it without licensing fees. This openness encourages innovation, collaboration, and flexible design across industries—from small devices to powerful computers. The foundation supports the growth of a global community of engineers and companies working together to create efficient, customizable, and future-proof hardware solutions based on RISC-V technology.
