Overview

RISC-V Architecture and System Design presents a structured and technically grounded exploration of the RISC-V open instruction set architecture and its role in modern computing systems. The book examines the architectural philosophy behind RISC-V, the structure of its modular instruction sets, and the design principles that distinguish open architectures from traditional proprietary processor models. Readers are guided through core architectural concepts, including instruction encoding, privilege modes, memory models, and extensibility mechanisms, with attention given to how these components influence processor implementation and system-level behavior. The text also explores integration considerations such as toolchains, software ecosystems, platform security, and deployment contexts across embedded, edge, and general-purpose computing environments. Rather than focusing on a single implementation or use case, this book provides a vendor-neutral perspective designed to help readers understand how RISC-V systems are designed, evaluated, and deployed in practice. It serves as a foundational resource for those seeking architectural literacy in open processor design and modern system engineering.
