European RISC-V Industrial Computing Initiative

More from erici.eu →

Landing page for ERICI, a non-commercial European initiative defining an open, partitioned reference software stack for RISC-V RVA23 industrial computers.

What HN thinks

Europe announces chip sovereignty, powered by Shenzhen silicon and a chatbot copywriter.

Sovereignty claim rings hollow
Commenters note the reference hardware uses SpacemiT and Milk-V parts from China, so the 'European' angle looks like flag-waving until EU-made silicon exists.
The page reads as AI slop
Many found the site and copy obviously LLM-generated and off-putting, though one argued the content is fine and the style isn't worth caring about.
Open ISA is still strategically right
Supporters argue RISC-V avoids US-controlled x86 licensing and sanction risk, making it a sensible step toward independence for long-lived industrial gear.

Consensus: Most agree RISC-V is a good idea for Europe in principle, but doubt this initiative delivers real independence given its Chinese hardware and past initiatives that stalled.
