RISC-V has already been adopted by many companies as low and not-so-low performance embedded microcontrollers. It's just that you don't see it. And it's really perfect for that.

I think that's pretty exciting.

As for super low cost hardware development: you can add a RISC-V CPU to FPGAs with as little as, say, 1500 LUTs, which can be purchased for less than $10.

I don't understand you mean by "proper open ISA".
