RISC-V International has been granted PAS Submitter status by ISO/IEC JTC1, marking a significant step towards international standardization.
RISC-V is an industry standard, similar to USB or Wi-Fi, with publicly available specifications under the Creative Commons license, allowing engineers worldwide to design products locally while engaging with the global RISC-V ecosystem.
The specifications are publicly available under the Creative Commons license and every engineer, wherever they are in the world, can use them to design their products locally, while engaging with the global RISC-V ecosystem.
RISC-V International and its members define the standard, with collective voting on decisions to ensure every member is heard, and updates to the RISC-V ISA happen transparently without breaking existing designs.
The next step is impartial recognition from a trusted international organization, solidifying RISC-V's position as a global standard.
