reject x86
embrace ARM-

@ekaitz_zarraga isn’t RISC-V a subset of ARM?
(please don’t burn my house and steal my cat, I’m an ignorant) -

@duponin It's not.
No real relation between them. -

@ekaitz_zarraga okay, I’m prob confused about something else
didn’t you do a talk about RISC-V at FOSDEM 2022? -

@duponin Not directly but yeah, I talked about some things we are doing on it. We are porting many things to RISC-V because it's kinda new.

@duponin Maybe that confuses you is the fact that both ARM and RISC-V are classified as RISC machines, meaning Reduced Instruction Set Computer, in contrast to CISC (complex blahblah blah) but that's just a design philosophy.
The RISC-V and ARM standards are separate things.
They have some similarities but just that. -

@ekaitz_zarraga nice
do you have some resources to point me to? I’m teased and curious -

@duponin wikipedia es ok for that kind of things. I don't have anything else for you. Maybe a book called "The RISC-V reader: an open architecture atlas". But it's pretty detailed about the architecture itself.
The interesting thing of RISC-V is it's an open standard and you don't need to pay royalties for using it (in ARM you have to).
