RISC-V Interrupts/Exceptions Quick Reference

May 11, 2023 (interrupts,quickref)

A fix has been made to the Interrupts/Exceptions Quick Reference to clarify that mstatus.mpp is set to the the least-privileged supported mode on mret. The local version of Machine-Level ISA has been updated to the Priv-v1.12 source as this is the current version on https://riscv.org/technical/specifications/. References to the depreciated user mode interrupts and the n extension were also removed.

About

May 15, 2019

I’ve setup this this blog to capture information I’ve found useful to develop RISC-V embedded firmware.

My experience is with bare metal RV32EC based systems. Previously I have worked with ARM Cortex-M0 and other processors, so initially I’ll capture the information needed to bootstrap such firmware and the gotchas that come from not yet thinking in RISC-V terms.

Some of the initial planned material is:

  • ISA information presented as easy to reference HTML.
  • Low level information for getting started with the RISC-V architecture.
  • Some evaluation of how RISC-V compares to other architectures.
