RISC-V ISA & Foundation Overview
summary
RISC‑V claims a simple, modular ISA that scales from teaching to production: the base RV32I base <50 instructions plus standard extensions like M, A, F, D and a reserved opcode space for custom instructions. The Foundation forms in 2015, grows to ~125–174 members and supports >200 university programs; dozens of tapeouts and papers validate implementations. Extensions are ratified and frozen forever to preserve compatibility, and an open-source compliance suite is under development to verify claimed extension behavior (not performance).
