Introduction to FPGA - RISC-V Softcore Processor

Explore the implementation of a RISC-V softcore processor on an FPGA in this 23-minute video tutorial. Learn how to build a system-on-chip (SOC) core using Bruno Levy's FemtoRV, disable unnecessary hardware peripherals, and upload the design to an iCEstick FPGA board. Write and compile a simple C program to blink onboard LEDs, and upload it to the designated program memory in SPI flash. Take on the challenge of enabling the buttons module and creating a C program to demonstrate button functionality. Gain insights into FPGA programming, Verilog hardware description language, and the open-source RISC-V instruction set architecture. Perfect for those interested in custom digital logic implementation, processor design, and embedded systems development.
