Frequently Asked Questions
No prior RISC-V experience is needed. We start from the basics and build up to advanced concepts. Basic understanding of digital logic and any programming language is helpful but not required.
All tools used in the course are free and open-source. We'll guide you through installing and setting up everything you need on Windows, Mac, or Linux.
You get lifetime access to all course materials, including future updates and improvements. Learn at your own pace and revisit the content whenever you need.
Yes! The course is structured to take you from zero to a working RISC-V processor in 24 hours of focused learning. We've broken down complex concepts into manageable, practical steps.
You'll have access to detailed documentation, step-by-step guides, and our community forum where you can get help from other learners and our team.
