Qualcomm to launch RISC-V based wearable platform with Google
By MYBRANDBOOK
Qualcomm Technologies is building on their long-standing collaboration with Google by bringing a RISC-V based wearables solution for use with Wear OS by Google. Leading up to this, the companies will continue to invest in Snapdragon Wear platforms as the leading smartwatch silicon provider for the Wear OS ecosystem.
“Qualcomm Technologies have been a pillar of the Wear OS ecosystem, providing high performance, low power systems for many of our OEM partners,” said Bjorn Kilburn, GM of Wear OS by Google. “We are excited to extend our work with Qualcomm Technologies and bring a RISC-V wearable solution to market.”
“We are excited to leverage RISC-V and expand our Snapdragon Wear platform as a leading silicon provider for Wear OS. Our Snapdragon Wear platform innovations will help the Wear OS ecosystem rapidly evolve and streamline new device launches globally,” said Dino Bekis, vice president and general manager, Wearables and Mixed Signal Solutions, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
Both companies recently joined other industry leaders to launch the RISC-V Software Ecosystem (RISE). Qualcomm Technologies recently announced that it's investing in a new company to advance RISC-V hardware development.
As an open-source instruction set architecture (ISA), RISC-V encourages innovation by allowing any company to develop completely custom cores. This allows more companies to enter the marketplace, which creates increased innovation and competition. RISC-V’s openness, flexibility, and scalability benefits the entire value chain – from silicon vendors to OEMs, end devices, and consumers.
Commercial product launch of the RISC-V wearable-based solution timing will be disclosed at a later date.
