Please see here for background on the effort: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-August/103748.html http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-August/103748.... I believe that given RISC-V's status as a clean and open ISA, the RISC-V port for any project should be the most accessible, best documented and cleanest. I am attempting to pursue this for the LLVM port. This has real practical benefit - the easier it is for research groups and hobbyists to hack on the RISC-V LLVM backend, the easier it is to perform interesting hardware/software co-design and architectural research.
