RISC-V (pronounced “risk-five”) is a free and open ISA enabling a new era of processor innovation through open standard collaboration. In this Hackathon you are tasked with adding to the RISC-V Linux community. You will be hacking on a soft RISC-V cpu running Linux on the low cost Avalanche FPGA board.
You could implement an application using one of these peripherals, Pmod Ambient Light Sensor or Adafruit Neopixel Shield. Your hack could be a software-based solution which adds to the RISC-V Linux ecosystem, such as a security solution, a unique bootloader or other. Alternatively, you could implement a hardware hack by bringing an Arduino shield, Mikrobus or PMOD peripheral and create a solution.
However, these are just suggestions. You can build anything that could prove to be useful. Eligible participants in this hackathon will be invited to the RISC-V Summit 2018 Expo floor which will be held in the Santa Clara Convention Center on Dec 4-5th.
