I-MIPS Technologies iyeka ukuqhubeka nokuthuthukiswa kwezakhiwo ze-MIPS futhi ishintshela ekudaleni amasistimu asekelwe ekwakhiweni kwe-RISC-V. Kwanqunywa ukwakha isizukulwane sesishiyagalombili sezakhiwo ze-MIPS ekuthuthukisweni kwephrojekthi yomthombo ovulekile we-RISC-V.
Ngo-2017, i-MIPS Technologies yaba ngaphansi kokulawulwa kwe-Wave Computing, isiqalo esikhiqiza ama-accelerator ezinhlelo zokufunda zomshini kusetshenziswa ama-MIPS processors. Ngonyaka odlule, i-Wave Computing yaqala inqubo yokuqothuka, kodwa ngesonto eledlule, ngokubamba iqhaza kwe-Tallwood venture fund, yavela ekuqoqweni, yahlelwa kabusha futhi yazalwa kabusha ngaphansi kwegama elisha - i-MIPS. Inkampani entsha ye-MIPS isishintshe ngokuphelele imodeli yayo yebhizinisi futhi ngeke igcine kumaphrosesa.
Ngaphambilini, i-MIPS Technologies ibihileleke ekuthuthukisweni kwezakhiwo nasekunikezeni amalayisense obunikazi bempahla obuhlobene namaphrosesa we-MIPS, ngaphandle kokuzibandakanya ngokuqondile ekukhiqizeni. Inkampani entsha izokhiqiza ama-chips, kodwa ngokusekelwe ekwakhiweni kwe-RISC-V. I-MIPS ne-RISC-V ziyefana ngomqondo nefilosofi, kodwa i-RISC-V ithuthukiswe inhlangano engenzi nzuzo i-RISC-V International ngokufaka komphakathi. I-MIPS inqume ukungaqhubeki nokuthuthukisa ukwakhiwa kwayo, kodwa ukujoyina ukubambisana. Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi i-MIPS Technologies sekuyisikhathi eside iyilungu le-RISC-V International, futhi i-CTO ye-RISC-V International isisebenzi sangaphambili se-MIPS Technologies.
Khumbula ukuthi i-RISC-V ihlinzeka ngohlelo lokufundisa ngomshini oluvulekile noluguquguqukayo oluvumela ama-microprocessors ukuthi akhelwe izinhlelo zokusebenza ngokungafanele ngaphandle kokudinga izinkokhelo noma ukubeka izimo zokusebenzisa. I-RISC-V ikuvumela ukuthi udale ama-SoC namaphrosesa avuleke ngokuphelele. Njengamanje, ngokusekelwe ekucacisweni kwe-RISC-V, izinkampani ezahlukene nemiphakathi engaphansi kwamalayisense ahlukahlukene amahhala (i-BSD, i-MIT, i-Apache 2.0) zakha izinhlobo eziningana ezihlukene zama-microprocessor cores, ama-SoC kanye nama-chips asevele akhiqizwa. Ukusekelwa kwe-RISC-V bekukhona kusukela kukhishwe i-Glibc 2.27, binutils 2.30, gcc 7, kanye ne-Linux kernel 4.15.
