Zephyr RTOS Adds Support for New RISC-V Platforms

The Zephyr Project has announced expanded RISC-V support with new board definitions for several popular development platforms. This update enables developers to use Zephyr on a wider range of RISC-V-based hardware.

Newly supported boards include the SiFive Unmatched, Espressif ESP32-C6, and several Microchip PolarFire SoC platforms. Each board definition includes optimized drivers, sample applications, and documentation to help developers get started quickly.

Zephyr’s RISC-V support includes features such as SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processing), virtual memory, and advanced power management. The RTOS also supports various RISC-V extensions including RV32I, RV64I, and vector extensions.

The Zephyr community continues to grow, with contributions from major companies including Intel, NVIDIA, and NXP. The project maintains a focus on security, reliability, and real-time performance for embedded applications.
