Why Tenasic Software Solutions?

Full-Stack Software Development

We have delivered the full software stack powering the world’s first RISC-V laptop — from bootloader and operating system to middleware and applications like browsers and open-source office suites. Leveraging our deep expertise in hardware, we optimize performance across drivers, middleware, and applications for maximum efficiency.

The following videos illustrate the performance impact of GPU driver optimization and hardware acceleration.

Open Source Leadership

At Tenasic, we believe that true innovation thrives through collaboration with the open-source community. We are proud to serve as recognized maintainers for Linux kernel, U-Boot, Yocto, and other key open-source projects. Most recently, we achieved a major milestone by enabling mainstream Linux to boot on the RISC-V–based VisionFive board.

Industry Firsts

Acknowledging the importance of bringing RISC-V into consumer devices, we were the first to introduce hibernation support (Suspend-to-Disk) for RISC-V, now on track for integration into the Linux kernel. Today, we lead the prestigious RISC-V ‘Platform Management Interface’ Task Group, driving standards that empower next-generation embedded systems—seamlessly combining application processors with platform microcontrollers for advanced system management and control.

Better Out-of-Box Experience

At Tenasic, we believe the right tools are key to delivering the best out-of-box product development experience. That’s why we built an Eclipse-based IDE designed to accelerate time-to-market for Yocto-based software solutions. Our IDE seamlessly integrates with customers’ existing toolchains, enabling a more streamlined and tightly connected development flow.
