Hoi,

As I won't be able to attend, I left my notes in the doc. Lots of great news, lots of wishes in there. We need manuals.

Cheers and until next time
Daniel

      • Is the VisionFive V2 an option for the Automotive group?

        • Jeff will reach out to the Automotive SIG and see

      • What’s next?  

        • PIONEER appears to be sooner, but lacks Vector 1.0 support, Hypervisor, and other 4Q2021 extensions

        • Horse Creek will have newer extensions but may not be as early

        • Jeff wants to do 1-2 more projects in 2023 and get these built in 3Q and have ordered no later than early 4Q.


What’s cool?:


In our next meeting, I hope to have a presentation on the Shakti processor out of India.  So, keep your eyes open for that.
-Jeff
