Bridging Embedded and Cloud Worlds: AWS Solutions for RISC-V Development
AWS is focusing on bridging the gap between embedded systems development and cloud technologies for RISC-V developers. Jeremy Dahan highlighted the challenges of sharing setups across teams and the benefits of utilizing the cloud for scalable and shareable environments. AWS offers curated tools and partner solutions to accelerate hardware-software co-development, with examples like the "virtual engine experience" for unified access to development tools. The use of FPGA acceleration in AWS instances allows for scalable access to FPGA-based prototypes, enabling developers to integrate custom IP and protect their intellectual property. AWS also offers solutions like Outposts for on-premises data-center servers and hybrid setups connecting on-prem hardware to the cloud for low-latency access.
