Introduction

This site a guide to the world of RISC-V. As RISC-V is a work in progress, so is the site.

I hope an everage person who does not already know computer programming or how computers work can learn here what RISC-V is, what it can be used for, and how to get started with RISC-V.

The goal is to be an easy to understand guide that is self-contained and covers all topics at an easy level, with references to more detailed and technical reference material.
