">>>>> The RISC-V Reader: An Open Architecture Atlas <<<<<
The RISC-V Reader is a concise introduction and reference for embedded systems programmers, students, and the curious to a modern, popular, open architecture. RISC-V spans from the cheapest 32-bit embedded microcontroller to the fastest 64-bit cloud computer. The text shows how RISC-V followed the good ideas of past architectures while avoiding their mistake.Highlights include:Introduces the RISC-V instruction set in only 100 pages, including 75 figuresAn Instruction Translator Guide to help translate assembly language programs from ARM-32 and x86-32 instruction sets to RISC-V2-page RISC-V Reference Card that summarizes all instructions50-page Instruction Glossary that defines every instruction in detail75 spotlights of good architecture design using margin icons50 sidebars with interesting commentary and RISC-V history25 quotes to pass along wisdom of noted scientists and engineersTen chapters introduce each component of the modular RISC-V instruction set--often contrasting code
