SiFive

SiFive is a semiconductor intellectual-property company founded by the creators of the RISC-V instruction set architecture at UC Berkeley — Krste Asanovic, Yunsup Lee and Andrew Waterman — and licenses configurable RISC-V processor core IP rather than manufacturing chips. Its catalog spans the Essential (E/S/U), Performance (P500/P600/P800), Intelligence (X100/X200/X300/XM) and Automotive (E6-A/E7-A/S7-A) core families plus system IP including SiFive Insight trace and debug, IOMMU Gen 2, Shield and WorldGuard. Customers configure a Core Design and generate a downloadable Dev Kit of RTL, testbench, software and documentation through SiFive Core Designer, delivered from the SiFive Cloud Services (SCS) portal at scs.sifive.com. The public developer surface is software tooling rather than a hosted REST API: the Freedom SDK for Metal and for Linux, Freedom Studio, Freedom Tools, the SiFive Kernel Library and the open-source DUH hardware-IP description toolchain and JSON Schema published on npm and GitHub.

SiFive publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Semiconductors, RISC-V, Processor IP, and Chip Design.

SiFive’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, signup flow, authentication, CLI, and 22 more developer resources.

  description: The OAuth 2.0 authorization server that fronts the SiFive Cloud Services (SCS) portal at scs.sifive.com, where
    SiFive Core Designer and the rest of the SiFive development tooling are delivered. It publishes RFC 8414 authorization
    server metadata anonymously at /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server, supports the authorization_code and refresh_token
    grants with PKCE (S256), exposes token, introspection, revocation, userinfo, dynamic client registration and JWKS endpoints,
    and advertises the openid, mcp:read and mcp:write scopes. The protected resources behind it — including the MCP surface
    implied by those scopes — require a SiFive customer account.

  detail: 'SiFive has no public REST API and publishes no OpenAPI — contract discovery probed /openapi.json, /openapi.yaml,

    portal (whose scopes_supported names mcp:read and mcp:write, so an MCP server exists behind the customer login even though
    no MCP endpoint is publicly reachable or documented), the draft-07 DUH hardware-IP JSON Schema, the first-party DUH npm/PyPI
    toolchain, and an ISO/IEC 29147 PSIRT disclosure program.'
