    RISC-V being open doesn’t mean all implementations using it have to be, though

    There’s nothing stopping a manufacturer from putting their own Intel Management Engine equivalent in a RISC-V CPU

      You are correct. I though it was copyleft GPL something.

      Thanks for bringing it into my attention. :)

      The simplest risc-v implementations don’t need microcode at all.
