This repository serves as a comprehensive, community-curated catalog of software and tools supporting the RISC-V architecture. It aims to provide a centralized, up-to-date resource for developers, researchers, and users navigating the RISC-V software ecosystem, covering everything from simulators and compilers to operating systems and machine learning frameworks.

How It Works

The project functions as a living document, maintained through community contributions via pull requests. It categorizes RISC-V software into logical groups such as Simulators, Object Toolchain, Debugging, Compilers, OS Kernels, and more. Each entry includes links to relevant resources, licensing information, and maintainers, offering a structured overview of available options and their origins.

Quick Start & Requirements

This is a curated list, not a runnable project. To use the information, simply browse the README.

Highlighted Details
