Recently, due to the suspension of arm's cooperation with huawei, risc-v is considered as a potential architecture to replace arm architecture.NXP said it still has a long way to go to replace the ARM architecture because risc-v still lacks full ecosystem support.
Grace wisdom pu semiconductor further stated that the ARM architecture can get most of the global chip enterprises to adopt its architecture, the reason is that over the years the ARM architecture has set up a complete ecological system, in addition to chip design architecture and other peripheral products is almost around the ARM architecture design, in order to establish cooperation to complete the relevant product design, and in this sense RISC - V at present is still lacking.
NXP also stressed that risc-v, which is also open source, does not currently have strong support from large institutions or companies.For example, Linux has companies like Red Hat, or android has strong support from Google, which makes open source itself have more resources to support and achieve the goal of constant update, which risc-v has not yet.Therefore, the current development still has a bottleneck.
