Why Make the Switch?

RISC-V offers compelling advantages for embedded development

A

Arduino

ATmega328P
  • Architecture 8-bit AVR
  • Clock Speed 16 MHz
  • Flash 32 KB
  • RAM 2 KB
  • Unit Cost ~$2-3
  • License Proprietary

RISC-V

CH32V003
  • Architecture 32-bit RISC-V
  • Clock Speed 48 MHz
  • Flash 16 KB
  • RAM 2 KB
  • Unit Cost < $0.10
  • License Open Source

20x Lower Cost

CH32V003 chips cost less than $0.10 in volume, making RISC-V ideal for production projects.

lock_open

Truly Open Source

RISC-V is an open ISA - no licensing fees, complete freedom to modify and extend.

speed

3x Faster Clock

48MHz vs 16MHz, plus 32-bit architecture means significantly more processing power.

Get Started in 5 Minutes

From zero to blinking LED

1

Clone the Repository

Download all examples and libraries with a single command:
git clone https://github.com/ArmstrongSubero/RISCV-Embedded.git

2

Install MounRiver Studio II

Download the free IDE from WCH's website. It includes the RISC-V toolchain, debugger, and project templates - similar to Arduino IDE but more powerful.

3

Connect Your Hardware

Wire the WCH-LinkE programmer to your CH32V003 board. You only need 3 wires: SWDIO, GND, and 3.3V.

4

Open an Example

Start with CH32V003_Examples/01_Blink - it's the RISC-V equivalent of Arduino's Blink sketch. Open the project in MounRiver Studio.

5

Build and Flash

Press Ctrl+B to build, then F8 to flash. Your LED is now blinking on RISC-V! Explore the other examples to learn more.
