This course is pre-launched with 5 videos to give you a sneak peek into the fascinating realm of computer architecture.
What is RISC-V?
RISC-V is an open standard instruction set architecture (ISA) born from the minds at the University of California, Berkeley's Computer Science division within the EECS Department. It represents a breakthrough in customizable processor development and has quickly become a popular choice for embedded systems. 💻
Course Content Breakdown:
-
Foundations of ISA: We'll start by laying down the groundwork, explaining why a computer architecture is crucial for the functioning of our everyday applications. 📚
-
Understanding RISC-V ISA: Learn the intricacies of RISC-V and how it differs from other architectures, focusing on its features and benefits. 🔍
-
Specifications in Detail: From signed and unsigned integers to the detailed exploration of the RV64IMFD Instruction set, we'll cover all specifications with clear examples for a better understanding. 🖼️
Course Objectives:
-
Robust Specifications: Equip you with the knowledge to create detailed specifications, which are essential for system design and will be pivotal in later courses where we code these specifications in RTL hardware description language using Verilog/VHDL. 🏗️
-
Real-world Application: Understand how the ISA you learn translates into real-world applications, from software to hardware interactions. 🌍
Course Features:
-
Unique Teaching Approach: Explore unique conventions like "IMFD" and their significance in microprocessor and microcontroller courses, which have never been covered before. 🎯
-
Visual Aids: Engage with the material using cool images and practical examples that will help solidify your understanding of complex concepts. 🖼️
