Hi
You might have been observing every third news in hardware
design is about RISC-V. The keyword RISC-V is the most trending in the digital design domain. Now for students, RISC-V is not a processor, it's an architecture (like a language) of a computer. Just like every state has a regional language, similarly, every computer has an architecture
This is just the start of RISC-V.
Many educational institutes that have been teaching electronics have decided to include RISC-V in their curriculum. There is a mention of RISC-V in every VSD workshop, VSD project and VSD tapeout program using open-source and proprietary tools. For new entrants, if you are looking for a RISC-V introduction and its need in the current electronics engineering curriculum, you should definitely try out the below workshop
This workshop starts with an electronic design like an embedded board and explains the need of
RISC-V and its architecture using a basic software assembly language lab, and finally, you would build your own small RISC-V processor which you can test on an FPGA. Isn't that cool? Moreover, this workshop will be available at a 55% discounted price for this time, thereby making it affordable for students.
Pre-requisites - 2-input MUX knowledge (That's it). This is very cool
