This course discusses the RISC-V GNU toolchain, the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), pseudo instructions and Assembly directives, the application programming interface, interfacing with C-libraries, disassemblies, and much more. Basic concepts like loops, conditionals, and functions are taught by developing Assembly programs running in a RISC-V Linux environment.
This course is designed for software developers who want to understand what instructions a RISC-V microprocessor finally executes for any software running on it. While this is an introductory course, developers should have a basic understanding of programming concepts and methodologies in order to benefit from the course material.
The key to a successful open technology project is to ensure a neutral playing field for all developers, technologists, and companies to collectively contribute to project evolution and growth. The Linux Foundation was built on the idea of the democratization of code and scaling adoption, for all projects equally. Expert legal and governance support programs ensure everyone is on the same playing field.
