The OpenHW Group is a not-for-profit, global organization driven by its members and individual contributors where hardware and software designers collaborate in the development of open-source cores, related IP, tools and software. OpenHW provides an infrastructure for hosting high quality open-source HW developments in line with industry best practices.
The projects and activities within the OpenHW Group are managed by two standing committees: the Technical Working Group and the Marketing Working Group including sub Task Groups therein.
The Technical Working Group has the mandate to drive the overall technical direction, development roadmap and project execution for all technology related activities within the OpenHW Group. In doing so, the following sub Task Groups have been established.
