The Genius of RISC-V Microprocessors
Originally MIPS (or DLX) was the dominant architecture used for teaching computer architecture because the standard Computer Architecture textbook (by one of the main designers of MIPS, David Patterson [1] along with John L. Hennessy [2]) was used in most universities [3]. These two authors were basically the university-lead designers of the RISC philosophy. Patterson's team designed the RISC-I and RISC-II processors (Berkeley RISC [4]). Hennessy and his team designed the MIPS processors (Stanford MIPS [5]). This culmination eventually begot the RISC-V. So yeah, the RISC-V is now the dominant architecture used for teaching computer architecture as they now use RISC-V to teach computer architecture with their latest book edition [6]. Also for more information on that, read [7].[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Patterson_(computer_scie...

Show HN: IDE for Learning RISC-V
Maybe this book: Computer Organization and Design - RISC-V Edition ? On Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Computer-Organization-Design-RISC-V...
⬐ thethirdoneThats probably a decent way to get into it if you don't mind the price tag. I have an older version that uses MIPS.If the parent also isn't familiar with how CPUs and caching works and wants to learn that along with RISC-V assembly it is probably a good bet.
