    I have been watching Risc-V for years, and I am super excited.

    In the last year or so I have been trying to learn low level code specifically to work on adding hardware support for ARM and Risc-V hardware. I am not even close to being able to contribute meaningfully anywhere, but at night after my kids are in bed I am reading books and following tutorials. Maybe in a few more years I will be able to contribute a little bit.

      Imagine!

      RISC-V CPU backed by RISC-V motherboard controllers, DRAM controllers, storage controllers etc., and a RISC-V GPGPU for gaming and hardware acceleration.

      It feels like that’s a million miles away but we already have working designs for every single proprietary chip used across the average computer!
