Course Overview
RISC-V is an open-source, license-free ISA. It is suitable for a broad range of computing system, from microcontrollers to high-end computing systems. RISC-V has recently seen an exponential adoption. For example, more than 10 billion chips containing RISC-V cores had shipped by the end of 2022. An entire laptop based on RISC-V ISA was recently designed. Even in India, there have been many efforts to adopt RISC-V. For example, MeITY has started the Digital India RISC-V (DIR-V) programme to design indigenous chips.
IIT Roorkee is offering a short-course on "programming in RISC-V assembly language". This course will first provide a background on (user-mode) assembly languages in general and RISC-V in particular. Then, it will discuss various RISC-V instructions, such as arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) and comparison instructions, logical instructions, conditional instructions, memory access instructions. The course will finally cover the concepts of stacks and function-handling and apply these ideas to implement both normal and recursive functions. Encoding of RISC-V instructions will also be discussed. Throughout the course, several examples will be presented on converting C/C++ codes to RISC-V assembly language code. The total duration of the course would be 10 hours spread across 4 days and will include hands-on training using RIPES simulator.
On successful completion of the 4 Days course, you will receive a certificate from IIT Roorkee which you can upload on your LinkedIn or use in your resume. Sample Certificate

About the Institute
The Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee has an illustrious history and a glorious past. It has its foundation as the Thomson College, which was founded in 1847, to train technical manpower for construction of Ganga canal. It was the first Engineering College in the then British Empire. In The year 1949, this great institution was accorded the status of the first technological university of independent India and was renamed as University of Roorkee. On September 21, 2001, the Government of India declared it as the Nation’s seventh Indian Institute of Technology.
