Siemens ports Sokol Linux to RISC-V
Siemens Digital Industries Software has ported its Sokol Flex OS software to the RISC-V open specification instruction set. This is one of the first commercially supported, extensible, and customizable Linux platforms for the RISC-V architecture, based on the popular, open-source Yocto Project industry standard.
Siemens sees RISC-V as suited to industrial, medical, aerospace and consumer applications. The cloud-enabled Sokol Flex OS streamlines application development, allowing developers to focus on value-add differentiation.
