RISC-V Compatible Processor IP by Syntacore: Compact Open-source MCU to Multicore Linux - John Hartley, Syntacore We describe family of the state-of-the-art RISC-V compatible microprocessor core IP developed by Syntacore with specific focus on details of our 64bit product line and roadmap. SCRx family includes nine cores with comprehensive features targeted at different applications: from compact SCR1 MCU core, which is one of the first fully open industry-grade RISC-V compatible cores (available since 2017) to efficient Linux-capable 64bit multicore SCR7. Different cores can be used together in heterogeneous multicore clusters with atomics and memory coherency. SCRx cores deliver competitive performance at low power already in baseline configurations. On the top, Syntacore provides a one-stop workload-specific processor customization service to enable customer designs’ differentiation via significant performance and efficiency boost. Industry-standard interfacing options support (AHB, AXI, ACE) enables seam
