I want to thank Thales R&T for being an early adopter and big contributor to the roadmap of @openhwgroup CVA6 which originated from @pulp_platform Ariane ieeexplore.ieee.org/document… our RV64 open source core. We use CVA6 everywhere! Stay tuned for some big news on multicore CVA6 😇

The next step is #security according to Thierry Collette from Thales R&T. Check out their soft-core roadmap #RISCVSummitEurope #RISCV #RISCVEverywhere
