A team from China’s top government research academy pledged to produce this year a processor based on the open-source chip-design architecture RISC-V, as Beijing advances its semiconductor self-reliance drive amid escalating US restrictions.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) will be able to deliver its XiangShan open-source central processing unit in 2025, wrote Bao Yungang, deputy director at the academy’s Institute of Computing Technology, in a Weibo post on Sunday.

The processor definition is in Scala using Chisel. This produces an HDL (what's needed for actual hardware) using a typed embedded domain specific language. This also compiles to a software model for validation. But that's not the same as "software only"
