minus-squaredeur@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up19·edit-22 days agoIn principle it’s just “slimmer ARM”. RISC-V is also extremely dedicated to using memory mapped IO rather than older style IO x86_64 supports. Think lots of registers, a fun zero register that is always zero, and memory mapped IO.
minus-squaremvirts@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 days agoI for one think we need a register for each unsigned integer, why is zero so special? :P Or if we can’t get that, at least every power of 2 and power of 2 minus 1. Maybe I can submit a proposal for risc-VI 🤣
minus-squarePetteriPano@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 day ago Maybe I can submit a proposal for risc-VI 🤣 No need! You can make your own custom extension! If the silicon doesn’t support it, then you can provide firmware to emulate it.
minus-squareporl@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 day agoI think a register for each of the primes should be enough.
