This really makes me want to try fiddling with some low-level stuff again. I studied mechatronics at uni and programmed microcontrollers in C and assembly, but have gone the webdev direction since then. Does anyone have any trusted quality resources for getting into RISC-V hardware? I'm especially interested in using Rust for this if possible - I've wanted an excuse to learn it in more depth for a while.

Since Rust is not directly hardware, here is a nice tutorial on some simple OS basics: https://operating-system-in-1000-lines.vercel.app/en/ https://operating-system-in-1000-lines.vercel.app/en/ There was also some Rust specific OS tutorial somewhere that was written nicely, but I can't find it right now. Also if you want to get real hardware, there is the neorv32 that has nice documentation: https://stnolting.github.io/neorv32/ https://stnolting.github.io/neorv32/ https://github.com/stnolting/neorv32 https://github.com/stnolting/neorv32 It's a risc-v core written in VHDL

  The Rust OS tutorial you're thinking of is probably this one: https://os.phil-opp.com/ https://os.phil-opp.com/

    Thank you both! These are some really interesting places to pick up from.
