As industrial systems become more connected, developers face a familiar challenge: integrating data across PLCs, SCADA, cloud platforms, historians, and enterprise applications without creating complex, hard-to-maintain architectures. That’s why MQTT and Sparkplug have become key technologies for modern Industrial IoT.
The conversations shaping the future of industrial automation deserve a platform of their own. That’s why we’re excited to launch 𝗘𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗽𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝘂𝗴/𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗱, the official podcast from the Eclipse Sparkplug Working Group.
As we count down to our Inaugural Launch Meeting, we are thrilled to introduce the leaders stepping up to guide and anchor the Ottawa tech community. Our featured speakers are coming to help you navigate the open-source landscape, match your personal engineering interests with the best resources available, and show you where RISC-V fit into the future of silicon.
On 16 June 2026 (16:00–17:00 CEST), the European Open Source Academy (EOSA) will host the webinar “Open Source Hardware Ecosystem: A Holistic View of the Community”, bringing together leading voices from the European open hardware landscape.
Did you miss the poster session by Eclipse Foundation’s Frédéric Desbiens and Akif Ejaz from 10xEngineers at the RISCV Europe Summit? We’ve got you covered!
The open-source hardware revolution is descending upon Bologna, Italy, and the OpenHW Foundation is proud to be at the heart of the action. From June 8–12, 2026, the RISC-V Summit Europe will serve as the premier gathering for industry leaders, and OpenHW is participating as a Silver Sponsor to showcase our latest advancements in verified, industrial-grade processor cores.
Ainekko, a startup focused on open AI infrastructure, has contributed its CORE-ET Silicon Platform (ETSP) to the OpenHW Foundation, a RISC-V-centric open hardware initiative hosted under the Eclipse Foundation. The platform combines a many-core 64-bit RISC-V processor architecture, MRAM-based intelligent memory, and open developer tooling designed specifically for low-power AI inference at the edge.
A new open source project has joined the OpenHW Foundation ecosystem!
Ainekko’s CORE-ET Silicon Platform is now an OpenHW Foundation project, bringing an open platform for low-power AI inference at the edge.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Applied and Integrated Security (AISEC) has joined the OpenHW Foundation. The goal of this collaboration is to advance open, trustworthy, and highly secure hardware platforms, thereby strengthening a key component of digital sovereignty in Europe.
At OCX 2026, the Eclipse Foundation highlighted the growing role of open source in embedded and IoT development, with Eclipse ThreadX and RISC-V at the center of the conversation.
