RISC-V : Poll Results And A New Emulator

Plus more background on the story of RISC-V

A huge thank you to everyone who voted in last week’s RISC-V poll.

Exactly 200 subscribers voted and the consensus is clear: RISC-V is going to be very important indeed!

The comments on the thread are really insightful too. Thank you to everyone who commented.

“VEMU”, a new RISC-V Emulator

Given the interest in RISC-V, I wanted to share a new, simple, RISC-V emulator.

It runs entirely in the browser and features an integrated assembler.

You can see VEMU in action in the video below.

It’s intended to be a really accessible way to learn and play with RISC-V code.

Paid subscribers can get access to VEMU today.

A warning though. It’s definitely ‘alpha’ at this stage, and there will be bugs!

After the break, more on VEMU and more background material on the RISC-V architecture.
