Risc-V Assembly Language Programming: Unlock the Power of the Risc-V Instruction Set

Gain the skills required to dive into the fundamentals of the RISC-V instruction set architecture. This book explains the basics of code optimization, as well as how to interoperate with C and Python code, thus providing the starting points for your own projects as you develop a working knowledge of assembly language for various RISC-V processors.

The RISC-V processor is the new open-source CPU that is quickly gaining popularity and this book serves as an introduction to assembly language programming for the processor in either 32- or 64-bit mode. You'll see how to write assembly language programs for several single board computers, including the Starfive Visionfive 2 and the Espressif ESP32-C3 32-bit RISC-V microcontroller. The book also covers running RISC-V Linux with the QEMU emulator on and Intel/AMD based PC or laptop and all the tools required to do so.

Moving on, you'll examine the basics of the RISC-V hardware architecture, all the groups of RISC-V assembly language instructions and understand how data is stored in the computer's memory. In addition, you'll learn how to interface to hardware such as GPIO ports. With RISC-V Assembly Language Programming you'll develop enough background to use the official RISC-V reference documentation for your own projects.

What You'll Learn

• Program basic RISC-V Assembly Language
• See how data is represented and stored in a RISC-V based computer
• Make operating system calls from Assembly Language and include other software libraries in projects
• Interface to various hardware devices
• Comprehend code containing Assembly Language
• Reverse engineer and hack code
• Use the official RISC-V reference documentation

Who This Book Is For

Those who have already learned to program in a higher-level language like Python, Java, C# or even C and now wish to learn Assembly Language programming.

獲得學習深入瞭解RISC-V指令集架構基礎所需的技能。本書解釋了代碼優化的基礎知識，以及如何與C和Python代碼進行互操作，從而為您自己的項目提供起點，並開發對各種RISC-V處理器的組合語言的實際知識。

RISC-V處理器是新的開源CPU，正在迅速流行，本書作為32位或64位模式下該處理器的組合語言編程入門。您將學習如何為多個單板計算機編寫組合語言程序，包括Starfive Visionfive 2和Espressif ESP32-C3 32位RISC-V微控制器。本書還介紹了在Intel/AMD基於PC或筆記本電腦上使用QEMU模擬器運行RISC-V Linux所需的所有工具。

接下來，您將研究RISC-V硬件架構的基礎知識，所有RISC-V組合語言指令組以及理解數據在計算機內存中的存儲方式。此外，您還將學習如何與GPIO端口等硬件進行接口。通過《RISC-V組合語言編程》，您將獲得足夠的背景知識，以便在自己的項目中使用官方的RISC-V參考文檔。

您將學到什麼：
- 編寫基本的RISC-V組合語言程序
- 瞭解數據在基於RISC-V的計算機中的表示和存儲方式
- 從組合語言中調用操作系統並在項目中包含其他軟件庫
- 與各種硬件設備進行接口
- 理解包含組合語言的代碼
- 逆向工程和破解代碼
- 使用官方的RISC-V參考文檔

本書適合對Python、Java、C#甚至C等高級語言已有一定程度掌握的人，並希望學習組合語言編程的人士。
