I've always liked riscv. Just the idea of literally everything on the device being open source is a fun idea. Manuals to everything.

  • Just because the ISA is open source doesn't mean that the end product or even the design will be open source.

    RISC-V is licensed permissively, giving anyone the right to make a proprietary (or FOSS) RISC-V processor.

    Often times, you'll see mostly open source cores, but then some extention is proprietary.
