[libre-riscv-dev] What is Shakti

[libre-riscv-dev] What is Shakti

[Immanuel, Yehowshua U]

I’ve seen the term shakti passed around a lot now.
I know it refers to a class of open source hardware, but what exactly is shakti in the context of LibreSOC?

From what I understand, Shakti is the common name used for the RISC-V cpu's
that are being designed by the RISE group as part of one of India's
universities: https://shakti.org.in/

Luke originally was working with them and so Libre-SOC is derived/inspired
by the Shakti M Class SOC. Libre-SOC has since evolved into its own
independent thing.

We should probably pick names for our processor core and SoC to
differentiate them from the Shakti M Class and from Libre-SOC as our
organization's name:

I suggest the Libre-SOC 1 for the SoC and Libre-CPU 1 for the processor
core. later iterations will be numbered 2, 3, etc. I registered
libre-cpu.org in case we want to use that.

I also registered libre-gpu.org

I was thinking we'd just set them all to redirect to (perhaps specific
pages in) libre-soc.org.
