Intro to RISC-V Assembly

CSE LECTURER CANDIDATE

What is an assembly language and how do computer architects choose which operations a processor can execute? This lecture introduces the concept of Instruction Set Architectures, focusing on RISC-V assembly. It explores arithmetic, immediate, and data transfer instruction types and practices translating simple C statements into RISC-V assembly. This teaching demonstration fits the type of material taught in Computer Organization (EECS370).
