Ratings: 4.44 / 5.00




Description

Learn about the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture by creating applications in an actual RISC-V microcontroller! See many applications developed on a RISC-V embedded microcontroller board. We've chosen an inexpensive board so you may follow along if you want.

This course is part of a hands-on curriculum where you'll get some basic experience on the design and development of embedded applications using a RISC-V core. This curriculum contains the following courses:

  1. Part 1: The RISCV ISA. Where you'll learn about the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture.

  2. Part 2: Embedded Applications. Where you'll learn how to create basic applications using the on-chip peripherals.

  3. Part 3: Real Time Operating Systems. Where you'll learn how to create RTOS applications with an industry standard RTOS.

  4. Part 4: The Journey inside an RTOS. Where you'll learn how an RTOS works, now that you know how to use them.

The purpose of this first course is to get you acquainted with the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture, covering the following topics, and more:
