ORCONF is an open source digital design and embedded systems conference, covering areas of electronics from the transistor level up to Linux user space and beyond. Presentations and discussions are expected on free and open source IP projects, implementations on FPGA and in silicon, verification, EDA tools, licensing and embedded software, to name a few.

Once known as the annual OpenRISC developers and users conference, ORCONF has become a broad open source digital design-oriented event and is supported by FOSSi - the Free and Open Source Silicon Foundation.

During the conference, Davide Rossi will introduce PULP, an open source Parallel Ultra-Low-Power computing platform developed by the research group led by Prof. Luca Benini at UNIBO, in collaboration with ETH Zurich.

PULP is a RISC-V based multi-core platform that leverages near-threshold computing and multi-core parallelism to provide high performance and energy efficiency while maintaining the flexibility and programmability typical of instruction processors, to target requirements of a number of high-growth, near-sensor processing Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
