Installing RISC-V tools to get started with tutorials
March 18, 2024
Engineering 5.0, RISC-V
It's 2024, and RISC-V is rapidly gaining momentum. It has become even more relevant as a global geo-politics is making it difficult to source the latest chip designs from other countries.
Also, there are now methods to create relatively low-cost low volume production runs of custom advanced chips including RISC-V. In this video I run through a way to get an RISC-V emulator up and running so that you can get started.
Summary of Steps
- Create a cloud computer instance (x86 64 bit)
- Install qemu tools
- Copy a prebuilt linux for RISC-V
- Run RISC-V linux inside the cloud instance
- Install “build essentials”
- Try out a demo program
