RVfpga: Understanding RISC-V Architecture and Implementation on an FPGA

Join Digi-Key for a close look at the inner workings of the RISC-V processor core and ways to implement a soft RISC-V processor core in a target (Xilinx) FPGA device. The RVfpga webinar covers the foundational knowledge that the next generation of Programmers and Engineers need to harness the potential of RISC-V. Digi-Key is proud to sponsor this webinar in collaboration with Imagination Technologies featuring Prof. Sarah Harris (UNLV). The webinar attendee will learn how to:

• Target a commercial RISC-V core and system-on-chip (SoC) to an FPGA
• Program the RISC-V SoC
• Add more functionality to the RISC-V SoC
• Analyze and modify the RISC-V core and memory hierarchy

After completing the RVfpga webinar, attendees will walk away with solid understanding of a commercial RISC-V processor, SoC, and ecosystem.

If you can’t attend the live webinar, be sure to still register as we’ll send you the recording afterward! This webinar will be in English only.

NOTE: We recommend that you download the labs before this webinar if you would like to follow along during the presentation otherwise we will include the link during the webinar. We will also include it with the recording after the webinar. Click here for the lab downloads.
