Get acquainted with the RISC-V instruction-set architecture (ISA) in this Embedded Hands-On Workshop by bringing up an RTOS and writing some basic MicroPython scripts, all on a Microsemi Mi-V Creative Board that is configured with a 32 bit RISC-V core in an IGLOO2 FPGA. Each attendee will leave with this $99 kit. Attendees will be exposed to the ins-and-outs of the instruction set architecture (ISA) using a variety of firmware and Microsemi’s SoftConsole integrated development environment (IDE).
After designing a “Hello, World!” application, attendees will be guided through RTOS bringup with both the open-source FreeRTOS operating system and a commercial platform. From there, the tutorial will expand to adding peripherals and executing MicroPython scripts on the board’s Mi-V RV32IM core.
The development board, tools, and associated software are complimentary for attendees, making for a perfect introduction to RISC-V.
