As RISC‑V enters high‑performance computing (from traditional data‑center servers to edge infrastructure, telecom systems, and industrial compute platforms) a unified platform definition is essential. Without a consistent hardware and firmware contract, system‑software vendors face fragmented bring‑up, slowing ecosystem adoption.

The RISC‑V Server Platform Specification solves this by defining a clear baseline that supports high‑performance RISC‑V platforms. Built by composing existing standards such as the RVA23 profile, Server‑class SoC requirements, UEFI/ACPI boot via BRS, SBI interfaces, and modern security foundations including roots of trust, secure boot, attestation, and BMC‑based management, the specification enables OS and hypervisor developers to target a single portable binary.

This talk outlines the goals, structure, and key requirements of Server Platform Specification 1.0, explaining how it reduces fragmentation, accelerates system‑software portability, and provides a stable foundation for interoperable, production‑ready RISC‑V platforms across diverse deployment environments.
