This course aims to educate learners on the benefits of using the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) and advocates for freely available ISAs. The course covers topics such as the background of RISC-V, its extensions, privileged architecture, hardware abstraction layer, and comparisons with other processors like ARM Cortex A5. The teaching method includes lectures on various RISC-V concepts, including atomic operations, compressed instructions, and supervisor architectures. The intended audience for this course is individuals interested in computer architecture, processor design, and open-source technologies.
