Hmm. As a fairly non-experienced person with a strong interest in experimenting with RISC-V, I read the comments here, and the article, and still feel, maybe this isn't the thing to get me started. Maybe the ecosystem still isn't there for a beginner to jump in.
Is there such a thing as a (cheap) SBC that runs RISC-V, which has good documentation (books, forums, whatever) on getting started programming on it? I'd like to get into assembly more, and hardware, and I'm interested in RISC-V for its open nature, but it can feel overwhelming getting the foot in the door.
Or is this it, and I'm just being overwhelmed by all the talk? Where would I go to get clear documentation on programming and experimenting with an Orange Pi RV2, if I went that route?

- Narishma 2y agoYes? How is that a problem? If you're interested in learning the RISC-V ISA, which is what I gathered from OP's post, the specific CPU doesn't matter much.
- -__---____-ZXyw 2y agoI am moreso looking for an actual board, maybe a few flashy lights, ya know, all that. I've played with QEMU a bit for a few little things, it's fun enough, but I'd like to play with some RISC-V hardware - again, if possible, if there were something appropriate for a relative beginner to get going.
