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 figures
  • An Instruction Translator Guide to help translate assembly language programs from ARM-32 and x86-32 instruction sets to RISC-V
  • 2-page RISC-V Reference Card that summarizes all instructions
  • 50-page Instruction Glossary that defines every instruction in detail
  • 75 spotlights of good architecture design using margin icons
  • 50 sidebars with interesting commentary and RISC-V history
  • 25 quotes to pass along wisdom of noted scientists and engineers
