Hi

Swipe through to witness the spectacular achievement: 10 products ported on RISC-V in just 24 hours! Isn't that an extraordinary feat for the students of India and the RISC-V community as a whole? Read below blog for more details-

The overall showcase truly exceeded our expectations. We've seen even commercial-grade chips face hurdles during their product launches. But what transpired here was a testament to the dedication and collective effort of the RISC-V community in India

Leading up to the event, we delved deep into cleaning up numerous RISC-V based Arduino libraries. Had it not been for this event, this task would have easily extended by another six months

Huge shoutout to:
Chitra Hariharan from VLSI Society of India (VSI) for her meticulous attention to every detail of VSDOpen and for sharing her invaluable experience to make the conference a roaring success

Dr. Satya Gupta, the backbone of the event. Despite several management challenges that cropped up, it was Satya Sir who came to our rescue, ensuring a seamless execution

Heartfelt thanks to Dr @Jamuna S and Dr. Manjunath T.C., Ph.D. (IIT Bombay) from Dayananda Sagar Institutions. Their unwavering support, from handling technicalities to securing permissions, was crucial.

A huge round of applause for our wonderful judges Vijayamanohar Nagarajan from Qualcomm and Dr Nanditha Rao from International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore for helping us with fair judgement from industry and academia perspective 

Last but by no means least, immense gratitude to our phenomenal team: Dinesh Annayya, Yatharth Agarwal, Soumya Kulhalli, Visruat T R, Vishvesha V, and S Vishnu Vidyesh. Without them, VSDOpen and the RISC-V based hackathon would never have seen the light of day

Cheer To innovation and beyond, by all entities tagged below. 

VLSI System Design, Anagha Ghosh and myself would personally extend our heartfelt Thanks to all of you (tagged below) who considered this event as a crucial one towards democratization of opensource EDA, hardware, chips and supporting this event as mentors
