Open silicon, engineered in the open.

A community-built RISC-V ecosystem — formally verified cores, a modular ISA, and a complete toolchain. Free to use, fork, and tape out.

The Standard

Free and open
by design

RISC-V is an open instruction-set architecture — royalty-free, vendor-neutral, and governed in the open. OpenR5 turns that spec into silicon you can actually ship.

The Silicon

Verified down
to the cycle

Every OpenR5 core is formally verified against a golden model — from a sub-12k-gate microcontroller to a Linux-class application core, floorplanned and ready to tape out.

OpenR5 2.4 — Verified Cores, End to End

The 2.4 release lands the RV64GC application profile with formal sign-off across the full pipeline — fetch to retire — plus golden-model co-simulation gating every commit. Four reference cores, one ratified ISA, zero royalties.

Vector 1.0 is upstream in both GCC and LLVM, and the R5-App core now boots mainline Linux on commodity FPGAs in under ninety seconds.
