> RISC RISC (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_instruction_set_computer https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_instruction_set_comp...) is a class of computer architectures. RISC-V (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC-V https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC-V) is an architecture in this family. > I was actually thinking of moving to using assembler in DOSBox That would mean using cumbersome tools in a cumbersome environment to target the same cumbersome x86 architecture. It's a horrible idea. Please don't inflict your nostalgia on students. Your past context means nothing to them, and it would not teach them anything useful. > What’s an equivalent platform / set of tools with which I could do some real world RISC? If your Clang/LLVM is compiled appropriately, it includes a RISC-V backend. You can pass something like --target=riscv64 to get code generated. You will need a cross-libc installed if you want to be able to call anything but syscalls. Then use an instruction set simulator to execute the binary. There is a simulator called Spike for RISC-V, or you could use Qemu.

Alternatively, set up a whole RISC-V Linux system inside Qemu.
