Projects under Jiachen Project
CV184X Joint Develop Project
CV184X Joint Develop Project is a collaborative ecosystem development initiative under the Jiachen Project, focused on advancing the CV184X series AI vision processors through joint development efforts. This project brings together developers, companies, and community members to collectively enhance the CV184X ecosystem, software stacks, and application solutions.
The ecosystem development for CV184X is coordinated by the Jiachen Project, fostering collaboration among ecosystem partners to drive innovation and adoption of CV184X processors in various applications.
Open Source Internship Joint Recruitment and Training
Open Source Internship Joint Recruitment and Training was issued by Mr. Wei Wu, director of the Jiachen Project, to members of the Jiachen Project. The motive and starting point are “members use minimal financial and management resources to achieve accelerated development of RISC-V ecosystem goals that are beneficial to their own companies”, drawing on the Jiachen Project director’s 10 years of experience in large-scale intern training, and leveraging work accumulated by the PLCT Lab in the open-source community.
Starting from the Year of the Dragon in the Jiachen cycle, more than 2,000 internship positions will be made available each year, with over 1,000 students recruited to participate in internships.
RISC-V Builder Mutual Recognition Network
Establishing the RISC-V Builder Mutual Recognition Network is one of the three main goals of the Jiachen Project. Unlike common certification systems, the RISC-V Builder Mutual Recognition Network is a fully trust-based network personally endorsed by the Jiachen Project director.
Its purpose is to build a RISC-V talent identification system that connects over 10,000 professionals with expertise in RISC-V chip design, software development, community operations, and education and training, enabling mutual recognition and collaboration in the RISC-V talent field.
RISC-V Dev Board Wandering Project
The RISC-V Dev Board Wandering Project is open to all developers and enthusiasts who wish to donate their unused RISC-V development boards, as well as those who would like to receive a RISC-V development board. Participants hold dual roles in this activity: while donating a board, they can also receive a board donated by someone else.
The Wandering Project operates with a point system. Donors earn points equivalent to the purchase price of the board upon completion of donation. Participants with sufficient points can receive RISC-V development boards donated by others for free.
Offensive Paper Reading SIG (OPR SIG)
With the rapid promotion and application of RISC-V chips across various industries globally, issues related to chip microarchitecture and software security have also started attracting attention from the industry.
Unlike traditional large enterprises that heavily invest in security teams, the RISC-V ecosystem consists of many small and medium-sized enterprises. While they have a strong demand for security awareness, maintenance, detection, and prevention, they are also sensitive to the costs of security investments.
Open Source Contribution Recognition
In order to promote the security and reliability of open-source software projects across multiple dimensions, to give more recognition to open-source contributors, and to address the core issues regarding sponsorship decisions and bias prevention.
The vision is to ensure that every open-source software contributor receives reputation and financial rewards commensurate with the social value they generate.
RISC-V Software Porting Championship
The RISC-V Software Porting and Optimization Championship (RVSPOC) has been launched to accelerate the development of the RISC-V software ecosystem and attract more developers to join the RISC-V ecosystem.
The RVSPOC focuses on desktop and server software ecosystems and presents a series of public challenges in areas such as compilers, runtime environments, and AI software stacks.
