Fun moment: anti-RISCV website by ARM#

Schedule#
2-day x 8-hour#
Step-by-step#
Lecture + demo + DIY#
Schedule / Day 1 morning#
- Schedule and self-introduction
- Introduction of RISC-V open ISA
- History and current status of ecosystem
- RISC-V ISA: unprivileged spec
- Basic RISC-V ISA: key concepts
- DIY 0: setup course DIY env
- Quick introduction of DIY env used in this course
- Lunch break
Schedule / Day 1 afternnon#
Demo 1: compile assembly code and simulate on SPIKE
- GNU toolchain, assembly code example, compile & link, SPIKE simulator
DIY 1: compile assembly code and simulate on SPIKE
- Code your own assembly code, compile & link, run simulation on SPIKE
Tea break
RISC-V ISA: privileged spec
- Privilege modes, exception & interrupt, physical memory & virtual memory
Demo 2: C code with proxy kernel and front-end server
- RISC-V sim env components, system call workflow, use PK to run “hello world” in SPIKE
DIY 2: create new system call
- Change FESVR and PK to add a new system call, write C code to call this system call
Schedule / Day 2 morning#
CPU architecture with RISC-V examples
- Basic concepts of CPU architecture, and some real RISC-V CPU examples
Demo 3: verification suite
