Our researchers are developing a prototyping environment that allows algorithm developers to assess the implications of their high-level decisions, without overwhelming them with the low-level platform details. This project is based on the open-source X-HEEP (eXtendable Heterogeneous Energy-Efficient Platform), a collaboration between the Embedded Systems Laboratory (ESL) of the EPFL and the EPFL EcoCloud Center.
The X-HEEP project is a fully open-source RISC-V microcontroller, and in fact, it will join the Open Hardware Group to be adopted by the open-source community at large as a reference RISC-V microcontroller.
