Overview

The SiFive S51 Standard Core is a 64-bit embedded processor, fully compliant with the RISC-V ISA. A small-footprint, low-power design makes the S51 ideal for devices that require a tiny system controller in a larger 64-bit SoC. The S51 can also be used as a standalone controller for networking, storage, or other high-performance embedded applications
