Major Updates Based on Community Input
Linux Foundation Training and Certification has launched the updated, free course Introduction to RISC-V (LFD110x). The course, designed for RISC-V enthusiasts; hardware and software developers; and technology hobbyists interested in open source instruction set architecture has been significantly updated and expanded based on input from the RISC-V community.
The update expands the content areas covered, particularly topics with a technical focus. Updates include:
- RISC-V assembly language examples using the Venus simulator on Visual Studio Code.
- Technical overview of the RISC-V ISA, including:
- CPU registers
- Instruction encoding
- Application Binary Interface
- Overview of RISC-V Assembly Language covering instructions and pseudoinstructions
- Overview of tools and applications available for development with RISC-V cores
- Information about:
- The RISC-V Community, including RISC-V International
- The RISC-V Ecosystem
- Readily available resources for the community
“It is impossible to overstate how fast RISC-V is growing and how in-demand RISC-V skills are becoming,” said Clyde Seepersad, SVP, General Manager, Training & Certification, Linux Foundation, “This is just the beginning of what I anticipate will be a long-term growth trajectory for the technology, making it an excellent career path.”
This free, 15- to 20-hour, self-paced, e-Learning course provides the foundation to effectively engage with the RISC-V community, contribute to the ISA specifications, and develop a wide range of RISC-V software and hardware projects. Course topics include:
- Getting to Know RISC-V
- Exploring the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture
- Hands-On RISC-V Assembly Language
- RISC-V Development Tools
- Meeting the Demands of Today’s Computing
A paid verified track is also offered that provides unlimited access to the course materials, a verified certificate of completion, and graded assignments.
