The RISC-V Summit China is an annual event that brings together the global RISC-V community – including technical, industry, domain, and ecosystem groups who define the architecture’s specifications. All the experts will meet in Shanghai, China, to share technology breakthroughs, industry milestones, and case studies. Canonical is proud to sponsor the RISC-V Summit again – come meet us at booth D26 July 16-18!

Canonical’s collaborations in the RISC-V ecosystem

Ever since Canonical’s involvement in the RISC-V ecosystem a few years ago, Canonical has played a pivotal role in supporting the rapid adoption of RISC-V across diverse industries. By collaborating with leading RISC-V hardware partners, Canonical ensures developers have access to a securely-designed, scalable, and reliable operating system – enabling accelerated innovation and streamlined development. With deep expertise in delivering enterprise-grade software solutions across the compute spectrum from high-performance servers to edge IoT devices on both x86 and Arm architectures, Canonical is the natural partner of choice for organizations seeking a robust, first-class development experience and faster time to market on RISC-V.

Since Canonical’s participation at the RISC-V Summit North America in October 2024, we have announced a strategic partnership with Rivos to accelerate RISC-V server adoption, and have collaborated with ecosystem partners to deliver Ubuntu on a growing range of RISC-V platforms, including SiFive’s HiFive Premier P550, ESWIN Computing’s EIC77, Deepcomputing’s DC ROMA RISC-V AI PC, and OrangePi’s RV2. These initiatives underscore Canonical’s ongoing commitment to playing a leading role in delivering open source software solutions to the expanding RISC-V ecosystem.

Stop by to see our demos with a myriad of partners in enabling their unique use cases with Ubuntu including:

• Alibaba Damo Academy’s XuanTie C930 IP on an FPGA 
• DeepComputing’s DC-Roma AI PC
• ESWIN Computing’s EBC77 SBC
• Milk-V Cluster 08
• SiFive’s HiFive Premier P550

Join our presentations at XuanTie Forum

If you’re keen to learn more about Ubuntu on RISC-V, be sure to join our presentation: RISC-V and Ubuntu: Pioneering the Future with RVA23.

In this session, Canonical will introduce the work being done by the organization to optimize Ubuntu for RISC-V. We will present the Canonical roadmap and vision for Ubuntu on RISC-V, this will include: 

• Ubuntu and Canonical roadmap for RISC-V profiles 
• We will present the depth of our partnerships and contributions towards open source and community projects via RISC-V International and RISE
• Our collaboration with Damo Academy 

Date & Time: Wednesday July 16, 15:30 – 15:45 CST
Location: Hilton Shanghai Zhanjiang Science City, 3rd floor, Grand Ballroom
Presented by Gordan Markuš, Director of Silicon Alliances, Canonical

Jonthan Mok, Silicon Alliances Ecosystem Development Manager at Canonical will also join a panel discussion to explore the role of RISC-V in general high-performance computing and intelligent computing scenarios.

Meet the team

Come say hi to our team at the Canonical Ubuntu booth D26 and discover:

• Details about the availability of Ubuntu on RISC-V
• Live demos of Ubuntu running on the latest RISC-V boards
• Insights into how you can combine RISC-V open ISA and Ubuntu open source software to build projects for a range of use cases, from embedded devices to datacenter and HPC deployments

You will also get access to relevant resources and have the opportunity to discuss your specific needs with the experts on our team.

We hope to see you there!
