The Olimex RVPC is modern RISC-V mini-computer with retro VGA monitor and PS/2 keyboard connection. It is an educational platform which people can use to learn RISC-V assembler and experiment like in the old days in 1980s :) We are using it in the fablab of our coding school 42 Berlin as a low-cost way to teach open hardware, soldering and to create monochrome info display screens at the congress.
We split the workshop repo into three parts and will mainly concentrate on part 1 during this workshop.
- Build Guide Build guide to show how to solder the RVPC
- Flash Guide How to flash firmware to the RVPC's CH32V003 chip using a Raspberry Pi Pico
- Code Guide Explanation of a simple code example for writing other display code
