minus-square@GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.mllinkfedilink2•1 year agoWait so ARM isn’t open? Ok now it makes sense
minus-square@erwan@lemmy.mllinkfedilink9•1 year agoNo it’s not, anyone can get a license to create an ARM chipset but you do need to pay for a license.
minus-square@GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.mllinkfedilink1•edit-21 year agoI still don’t understand. Is it like RHEL (they give you all the source code) or more like Windows?
minus-square@erwan@lemmy.mllinkfedilink8•1 year agoIt’s neither. It’s a specification that you can use to build your own chip. So it’s more like MPEG where you can read the doc and create your own implementation.
minus-square@GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.mllinkfedilink1•edit-21 year agoToo technical; didn’t understand. I prefer RISC-V at this point
minus-square@erwan@lemmy.mllinkfedilink3•1 year agoHow can you have a preference if you don’t understand?
minus-square@GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.mllinkfedilink1•1 year agoYou didn’t say it’s fully open-source so RISC-V is better no matter how “open” ARM is
minus-square@Moonrise2473@feddit.itlinkfedilink6•1 year agoClosed source but if you pay enough you can get the source

Yes, on the licensing front RISC-V is better.
