Also as another comment indicates probably a better explanation of the project is the video I made about it: https://youtu.be/zXPiqk0-zDY
- What would you say is your biggest learning from this experiment? - What were the Aha! moments you experienced while learning like this? For example, something you vaguely understood before but is now super clear to you.
600hrs over 5 months.
Duh.
Minecraft computers have been done for a while now, but seeing a full RISC-V computer running programs is really impressive, and frankly just seems really cool. The programs are written in Rust, and then compiled to run in game. Plus, the author needed to write their own mod to make the Terraria wiring efficient enough to support the computer: https://github.com/misprit7/WireHead
This guy is going places!!
So this is building a RISC-V *microcontroller* but what version of the ISA? 2.2 from 2017? Is it sucessfully passing conformance tests (https://github.com/riscv-software-src/riscv-tests)? I don't want to dunk on the project, but the title is over-selling and not scoping the context of the work. I look forward to some more updates from @misprit7!
Note: I'm the working group lead for distro-integration within the RISC-V Software Ecosystem (RISE) group.
I'm not throwing around fully compliant lightly here!
I think it was worse 5 years ago. Will try again in 5 years.
