The KianV Linux CPU Series showcases three open RISC-V processors capable of running Linux:
- KianV Legacy: single-core multicycle CPU with Linux support
- KianV StealthV: quad-core, 5-stage pipeline with Linux SMP
- KianV VOID: superscalar, out-of-order execution with Linux SMP
A full progression from beginner-friendly single-core to out-of-order multi-core designs, useful reference material for chip designers and FPGA hobbyists.
