In this course, you will learn about the nature, history, ongoing practices and other fundamentals of RISC-V as a technology, an international organization, and a community of developers and implementers. You will also see how RISC-V technical working groups are organized, as well as explore the basis of community-based open specification development, and how the RISC-V ISA is developed as an open specification. Moreover, you will learn how people and organizations can benefit from and contribute to RISC-V, and will be able to put the RISC-V ISA into action with a simulator booting the Linux operating system.
This course is designed for RISC-V enthusiasts, hardware nerds, and anyone else interested in the details of how an open source ISA is breaking down barriers and opening up new opportunities in the microprocessor world.
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.
