Course Overview
The Linux Foundation's Computer Architecture with an Industrial RISC-V Core [RVfpga] (LFD119x) course provides a comprehensive, hands-on exploration of RISC-V architecture using the commercial VeeR EH1 Core and RVfpga System-on-Chip (SoC), preparing learners for roles such as Embedded Engineer, RTL Design Engineer, or Software Developer in device driver and toolchain environments. Designed for university-level computer science and engineering students as well as industry professionals, this advanced course equips participants with practical skills to enhance processor security, power efficiency, and performance. With RISC-V making fast inroads worldwide, as noted by Linux Foundation executives, demand for skilled practitioners is rising across IoT, automotive, and industrial applications, where open-standard architectures are accelerating hardware-software co-design.
Participants engage directly with key technologies including the Whisper instruction set simulator (ISS), Verilator-based RVfpga-ViDBo, RVfpga-Pipeline, and RVfpga-Trace within a pre-configured Ubuntu 22.04 virtual machine environment, ensuring immediate access to all tools without system setup barriers. The lab component centers on building, compiling, and debugging C and RISC-V assembly programs for the RVfpga SoC, configuring the microarchitecture of the VeeR EH1 Core, and extending I/O systems using real-world scenarios like timer integration and interrupt handling. Students complete projects simulating execution on the Nexys A7 FPGA board or through cycle-accurate simulation tools, gaining experience in performance analysis via industry-standard benchmarks and signal tracing—skills directly transferable to industrial RISC-V development workflows.
This course prepares learners for the Linux Foundation’s RISC-V Foundational Associate (RVFA) certification, a recognized credential validating entry-level expertise in RISC-V ISA, assembly programming, and embedded design, with certified professionals seeing strong career growth in semiconductor and embedded systems fields. RVFA holders demonstrate proven ability to work with GCC/LLVM toolchains and understand calling conventions critical for kernel and firmware development, supporting career advancement into high-demand roles where RISC-V adoption is expanding rapidly. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Linux Foundation courseware, and expert-led training that ensures deep mastery. Graduates emerge ready to contribute meaningfully to the global RISC-V ecosystem and shape the future of open computing architecture.
