About | OpenHW

We are a vendor-neutral organisation dedicated to fostering a collaborative ecosystem for open source RISC-V hardware design, verification, and implementation. We accelerate the development and adoption of verified, open source RISC-V processor cores and related IP. The OpenHW Foundation is home to a vibrant community that is building industrial-grade RISC-V cores that meet the demands of modern commercial applications like HPC, automotive, FPGAs, edge, embedded systems and IoT.
We create a focal point for the development of highly verified, commercial-grade open source RISC-V cores. We aim to break down the silos of hardware development and establish a global standard for open silicon IP.
We operate under an open, transparent governance model. Technical decisions are driven by our Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), ensuring all projects meet rigorous industrial standards for verification and implementation.

In December 2025, the OpenHW Group joined the Eclipse Foundation and became the OpenHW Foundation.
This strategic move aligns hardware development with the world’s leading open-source software ecosystem, providing enterprise-grade governance, IP management, and a unified framework for the complete sovereign and open source hardware-software stack.
