Microchip Technology PIC64GX1000 64-bit RISC-V Quad-Core MPUs

Microchip Technology PIC64GX1000 64-bit RISC-V Quad-Core Microprocessors (MPUs) are Linux® OS-capable processors that provide power-efficient and embedded computing platforms based on RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). These microprocessors include built-in secure boot, real-time modes, a large flexible L2 memory subsystem, and embedded peripherals. The PIC64GX1000 microprocessors feature integrated 128KB embedded Non-Volatile Memory (eNVM) for boot, platform interrupt controller, and Integrated dual Physically Unclonable Function (PUF).
