Description

RISC-V is an Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) that is rapidly growing in popularity in terrestrial applications. Its modularity and openness allow to implement the optimal microarchitecture for a wide range of applications in satellite data systems, ranging from microcontrollers to processors for Artificial Intelligence. Several open-source RISC-V processors are already available for terrestrial applications. However, there is still work to be done to employ them in satellite data systems, especially in terms of Fault Tolerance and Technology Readiness Level.
