Huawei launched its first RISC-V TV chip, which is made in China and supports Huawei and Hongmeng

As we all know, the two most popular chip architectures are X86 and ARM, of which X86 is used for PCs and ARM is mainly used for mobile devices.
However, with the introduction of RISC-V architecture, this open source free architecture was also favored by everyone. After all, open source is free, and can be used by anyone without authorization, cost or fear of being stuck.

So in just a few years, RISC-V architecture has become popular, especially many Chinese manufacturers have launched their own chips based on RISC-V architecture, especially the Da Mo Academy and Pingtou Brother of Alibaba, which have launched many chips, IP cores, etc. based on RISC-V.
Recently, Huawei also launched its own RISC-V chip. This chip is the high-definition TV chip Hi373V110. Its CPU module uses Huawei’s first RISC-V based TV chip.

The TV chip is actually similar to the mobile phone chip, and is also integrated with many modes, such as DSP, ISP, CPU, GPU, etc. The CPU part of this chip is RISC-V CPU developed by HiSilicon, while DSP, ISP, etc. are independently developed by Huawei. They support analog TV of various formats around the world, support mainstream video formats, support mainstream audio formats, and integrate the SWS sound processing chip developed by HiSilicon.
At the same time, this chip supports Huawei Hongmeng system, which means that after using this chip, Huawei Hongmeng system can also be used directly, thus reducing the development threshold of TV manufacturers.
According to the media, although the technological process of this chip is not introduced, it is expected to be more than 28nm. After all, most mainstream TV chips are manufactured at 28nm and 40nm, so this chip is also likely to be produced in China. After all, the technology above 28nm can be handled in China.

In fact, many people may not understand that Huawei HiSilicon is already the king in the field of smart TV chips, and its domestic market share has been the first.
In the past, Huawei’s TV chips were more based on ARM architecture, but now it has turned to RISC-V architecture. In addition, Huawei has been the highest level member of RISC-V Foundation several years ago, which must play a very important role in the development of RISC-V architecture.
