RISC-V Summit Europe 2026 · Italy · 2026
SemiTO-V Developer Zone RP2350/GW1N-9 electronic badge project
SemiTO-V's RISC-V FPGA Badge was a limited Developer Zone electronic PCB badge project for RISC-V Summit Europe 2026 in Bologna. Primary team sources name an RP2350 MCU, a GOWIN GW1N-9 FPGA, custom firmware, and a default RV32I core; they say NextPCB produced the boards and planned to bring 25 to the developer workshop. A logistics update then delayed intended June 8 distribution. The source record supports real physical boards and a 2026 event association, not a final unit count, completed recipient delivery, or the precise current post-event design revision.
People
SemiTO-V identifies itself publicly as a Polytechnic of Turin RISC-V student team and publishes the event-associated RISC-V FPGA Badge sources. This credit does not claim organizer ownership, full distribution control, or image-reuse authority.

SourceSemiTO-V's public Developer Zone material says NextPCB produced the boards. This is a narrow team-stated production-context credit, not a claim of recipient delivery, product support, or image-reuse authority.
SourceOfficial RISC-V summit pages establish the Bologna event, and the project README names RISC-V International as a sponsor. This credit does not assert ownership of the SemiTO-V repository, attendee-wide issuance, or image permission.
SourceIt adds a concrete European open-hardware developer-event badge with named designers, OSHWA certification, native KiCad design sources, a CERN-OHL-W hardware-license trail, and a limited distribution account, while preserving the distinction between summit prototypes and a later current repository revision.
SemiTO-V's public Developer Zone material identifies an RP2350 microcontroller and a GOWIN GW1N-9 FPGA. The repository contains a KiCad 10 PCB and native schematic set, but the reviewed material does not map its current post-event source revision to each physical summit unit or establish a complete production BOM, component population, power architecture, electrical limits, safety assessment, test result, enclosure, connector map, or final device configuration.
The project README links public pico2-editor and riscv-badge-displaylib firmware references, while team posts state that the badge used custom firmware with a default RV32I core. The public repository has no tag or GitHub release and its current source has post-event revisions. This dossier records the source at a high level without providing programming, FPGA-loading, debugging, or operating instructions or claiming that a current checkout was deployed on event hardware.
RISC-V International's public summit material thanks participants for joining the completed Bologna event. SemiTO-V says it volunteered in the Developer Zone, planned a 25-board workshop allocation, and faced a logistics delay at the start of the summit. The public hardware archive later received an August Version 1.6 update addressing board issues and silkscreen changes. A team statement about an event prototype and a future complete revision therefore keeps the physical summit artifact distinct from the current source tree.
Lifecycle
SemiTO-V identifies an RP2350 microcontroller and GOWIN GW1N-9 FPGA for the badge. The record does not infer unlisted peripherals, power behavior, safety limits, complete bill of materials, or exact population of every physical unit.
SourceThe README points to pico2-editor and riscv-badge-displaylib. This record preserves their public-reference role without asserting version parity, a released binary, a deployed event image, programming steps, support ownership, or a recovery procedure.
SourceThe repository README identifies KiCad 10 and the archive exposes native PCB and schematic files. The open source tree is valuable documentation, but it is not a substitute for a reconciled physical production revision, assembly record, electrical-safety assessment, or delivery ledger.
SourceThe team says the custom firmware includes a default RV32I core. This is recorded as high-level source context only, without operational FPGA configuration, programming, debugging, execution, or security claims.
SourceSemiTO-V stated it would bring 25 badges to the Developer Zone workshop and later reported a logistics problem that prevented intended June 8 distribution. The sources establish a limited 25-unit Developer Zone badge run in planning and a real physical-board project, not a completed allocation ledger, attendee-wide issue, or confirmed recipient count.
SourceVersion 1.6 fixes listed in the August source commit demonstrate that the public design continued after the June summit. The current post-event V1.6 KiCad revision is therefore not presented as a photograph, render, or authoritative specification of every physical summit badge.
SourceOperational history
The catalogue preserves the source-backed design trail without calling it a fabrication recipe, tested device specification, safety assessment, or compatibility guarantee.
The record describes public firmware context at a high level without presenting any current source checkout as deployed, supported, verified, or suitable for operation.
The dossier credits named contributors and the stated production partner without inferring sole authorship, manufacture responsibility, fulfilment ownership, product-support duty, or image authority.
The catalogue links the source-license and sponsorship context while keeping organizer ownership, attendee credential status, trademark/endorsement scope, physical-delivery responsibility, and image rights separate.
The catalogue does not turn a limited planned workshop allocation into proof that all 25 boards, all workshop participants, or all summit attendees received a badge.
The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying repository renders, team social media, event media, screenshots, logos, or approximate/generated imagery.
Current open design sources are linked for research but are not represented as the definitive exact event-unit design, final production revision, or a factual image of every distributed unit.
