RISC-V on RISC-V: Programming and Modeling

By Przemyslaw Bakowski

This book presents the didactic and development platform to teach and model RISC-V ISA.
Our method is two-fold (software/hardware) and self-contained (modeling RISC-V on RISC-V).
The platform itself is largely affordable (about 100$ or ) and running exclusively on open source software, modeling tools included.
The initial didactical content is built from three Programming Labs - PLabs, and four Modeling Labs - MLabs.
PLabs start with simple assembly examples involving arithmetical instructions and input/output operations.
We also delve, with the help of the debugger, into the binary representations to understand the instruction formats and build binary code snippets.
MLabs start with a short introduction to Verilog HDL. With the following MLabs we study simple
RISC-V architecture, first to model RV32I-subset with R-type instructions then to model full RV32I plus M subsets.
Then, running on the RISC-V platform, we inject the generated binaries into the Verilog model.
As such the platform is open for further experimentation with RISC-V ISA based programming and modeling.
