HyperCroc: End-to-End Open-Source RISC-V MCU with a Plug-In Interface for Domain-Specific Accelerators
arXiv:2603.12308v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Domain-Specific architectures with accelerators for machine learning and signal processing require efficient bulk data movement and high-bandwidth access to large datasets. Such capabilities are often absent from minimal open-source microcontrollers (MCUs). We present HyperCroc, an extension to the end-to-end open-source RISC-V Croc system-on-chip (SoC) integrating a silicon-proven HyperBus controller for off-chip DRAM and Flash memory access and a DMA engine, providing a practical MCU-class platform with streamlined plug-in support for domain-specific acceleration. HyperBus […]
