Initializing RISC-V: A Guided Tour for ARM Developers | Ahmad Fatoum and Rouven Czerwinski, Pengutronix

RISC-V is the hot and upcoming architecture in the embedded space. While a majority of embedded developers have earned their chops programming for ARM processors (and PowerPC beforehand), many have yet to dip their toes into the growing RISC-V ecosystem. This talk will guide attendees through the RISC-V architecture and some of its ISA extensions and then follow Ahmad’s and Rouven’s journey in applying their ARM knowledge to porting the barebox bootloader to the RISC-V-powered Beagle-V Starlight, while enjoying the fun and woe of early-revision silicon.
