The CFU: Custom Hardware with RISC-V and Zephyr

Explore the integration of RISC-V's Custom Function Unit (CFU) with the Zephyr real-time operating system in this lightning talk. Discover how seasoned embedded software engineers can leverage RISC-V's instruction set architecture to experiment with FPGAs using open-source cores. Learn about the Zephyr Project's emergence as a leading RTOS, incorporating open-source and security best practices for a vendor-neutral, secure, and reliable platform. Gain insights into adding a CFU into a RISC-V core on an FPGA and making appropriate calls from Zephyr, as demonstrated by Mohammed Billoo from MAB Labs Embedded Solutions.
