I've been wanting to work with RISC-V for a while, but it's been really difficult to get my hands on a dev board. I spoke with Mark Himmelstein from RISC-V International last week and he mentioned that they are pushing hard to get more dev boards out... but they're getting hit with the chip shortage just like everyone else.
I really look forward to the day when Open ISAs like RISC-V and OpenPower have better availability. I know I'm eager to move to them as soon as I can. I have no experience with emulating it, so I can't really give any feedback on that. Do we have a RISC-V SIG?
