Paper Title: RISC Five as Easy as Pi

Paper Abstract: RISC-V is the new thing on the block. Here we show how to build up the lemonade stand, using only those everyday things you can find around home. We go through the basic process of compiling, assembling, linking, and loading; describe the basics how JTAG works (and how it fails); and do it all from the comfort of one's Pi that happens to be laying around collecting dust. Reduced Instruction Set Computing is a simple thing, deserving of the reduced development platform. The basic knowledge learned from this paper will serve both the data storage professional and the computer enthusiast well for many years -- and many variants -- to come.
