" summary

Renzas claims a ready-to-use RISC-V flow: a credit-card sized fast prototyping board with on-board SEGGER J-Link and virtual COM over USB-C, a 48 MHz MCU with 128 KOB flash, 16 KOB RAM and 4 KOB data flash, Arduino Uno R3, Pmod and Grove connectors, plus USB power and current-measure pin. Toolchain includes a free Eclipse IDE with smart configurator plugin and an LLVM-based compiler; commercial IDEs and production programmers are supported, aiming to cut debug and integration time.
