RISC-V Assembly Projects: Build Real-World Systems with Assembly, I/O, Interrupts, and Embedded Linux
Master hardware-level control, build real embedded systems, and future-proof your engineering career—one RISC‑V project at a time.
RISC‑V Assembly Build Real‑World Systems with Assembly, I/O, Interrupts, and Embedded Linux is the definitive hands-on guide for mastering RISC‑V architecture through real-world applications. Written by veteran firmware architect Michael G. Gutierrez, this book delivers step-by-step projects that teach you to control hardware at the bare-metal level using open-source tools, memory-mapped I/O, and modern RISC‑V development boards like the ESP32‑C3 and VisionFive.
Whether you’re migrating from Arduino, ARM Cortex‑M, or writing high-level C, you’ll gain the skills to craft robust embedded systems—from blinking LEDs to shell-like Linux tools—all in pure RISC‑V assembly.
What You’ll Build — and Why It MattersBlink and pattern LEDs with GPIO and hardware timers—learn low-level I/O and real-time control.
Handle button inputs with debounce logic that scales to any MCU architecture.
Write interrupt service routines to create responsive firmware.
Communicate over UART, SPI, and I²C—build serial consoles and interface with sensors.
Create bootloaders and key-value flash storage for non-volatile persistence.
Drop into Linux syscalls and build command-line utilities with real shell behavior.
Each chapter includes fully tested source code, compatible with QEMU emulators and real RISC‑V chips—no guesswork, no black boxes.
Michael G. Gutierrez is a seasoned firmware expert with 15+ years of experience building mission-critical embedded software for aerospace, automotive, and industrial IoT systems. He’s a respected speaker at RISC‑V Summit and Embedded Linux Conference, and his tutorials appear in the official RISC‑V International GitHub. His expertise ensures that what you learn here translates directly to industry-standard embedded development.
Why This Book Is DifferentProject-based approach—learn by building, not theory alone.
2025-ready coverage—RV64GC, compressed instructions, syscalls, and bare-metal to Linux transitions.
Modern toolchain focus—GNU assembler, linker scripts, Makefiles, and debugging with GDB.
Future-proof skills—understand open instruction sets powering the next generation of computing.
Who Should Read ThisEmbedded engineers moving beyond 8-bit platforms to open RISC‑V microcontrollers.
Hobbyists and makers seeking freedom from proprietary chip ecosystems.
CS students aiming to build a portfolio of hardware-level projects.
