RISC-V is a free and open instruction set architecture (ISA) enabling a new era of processor innovation through open standard collaboration. This course will guide you through the various aspects of understanding the RISC-V community ecosystem, RISC-V International, the RISC-V specifications and how to help curate and develop them, and the technical aspects of working with RISC-V both as a developer and end-user.

What You’ll Learn
In this course, you will learn about the nature, history, ongoing practices and other fundamentals of RISC-V as a technology, an international organization, and a community of developers and implementers. You will also see how RISC-V technical working groups are organized, as well as explore the basis of community-based open specification development, and how the RISC-V ISA is developed as an open specification. Moreover, you will learn how people and organizations can benefit from and contribute to RISC-V, and will be able to put the RISC-V ISA into action with a simulator booting the Linux operating system.

I liked everything, great course with a ton of relevant information, but on the other hand not overwhelming - really up to the point. I really appreciate also giving links and directions to other material. I think this has saved me weeks, should I have tried to find all these things myself.

Contained a good balance of RISC-V technical and organizational material. Instilled the idea that RISC-V is truly an "open-specification", and effectively presented the governance model.
