RISC-V Books
We are working on putting together a list of RISC-V Books here. Its a work in progress.
RISC-V Assembly Language
Presents RISC-V assembly language with emphasis on system concepts. You will learn not only assembly language programming but also the system concepts necessary to fully understand at the machine level a RISC-V computer that supports RV32I and RV32M. The software package for the book includes a RISC-V assembler/linker/debugger/ interpreter that runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Raspbian. It is easy to install (simply unzip the distribution file) and easy to use.

The RISC-V Reader: An Open Architecture Atlas
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

Computer Organization and Design RISC-V Edition: The Hardware Software Interface
The new RISC V Edition of Computer Organization and Design features the RISC V open source instruction set architecture, the first open source architecture designed to be used in modern computing environments such as cloud computing, mobile devices, and other embedded systems.
With the post PC era now upon us, Computer Organization and Design moves forward to explore this generational change with examples, exercises, and material highlighting the emergence of mobile computing and the Cloud. Updated content featuring tablet computers, Cloud infrastructure, and the x86 (cloud computing) and ARM (mobile computing devices) architectures is included.
An online companion Web site provides advanced content for further study, appendices, glossary, references, and recommended reading.
- Features RISC V, the first such architecture designed to be used in modern computing environments, such as cloud computing, mobile devices, and other embedded systems
- Includes relevant examples, exercises, and material highlighting the emergence of mobile computing and the cloud.

Digital Design and Computer Architecture, RISC-V Edition: RISC-V Edition
The newest addition to the Harris and Harris family of Digital Design and Computer Architecture books, this RISC-V Edition covers the fundamentals of digital logic design and reinforces logic concepts through the design of a RISC-V microprocessor. Combining an engaging and humorous writing style with an updated and hands-on approach to digital design, this book takes the reader from the fundamentals of digital logic to the actual design of a processor. By the end of this book, readers will be able to build their own RISC-V microprocessor and will have a top-to-bottom understanding of how it works.
Beginning with digital logic gates and progressing to the design of combinational and sequential circuits, this book uses these fundamental building blocks as the basis for designing a RISC-V processor. SystemVerilog and VHDL are integrated throughout the text in examples illustrating the methods and techniques for CAD-based circuit design. The companion website includes a chapter on I/O systems with practical examples that show how to use SparkFun’s RED-V RedBoard to communicate with peripheral devices such as LCDs, Bluetooth radios, and motors.
This book will be a valuable resource for students taking a course that combines digital logic and computer architecture or students taking a two-quarter sequence in digital logic and computer organization/architecture.
