Since RISC-V uses Chisel instead of Verilog, you will probably need this first: https://github.com/freechipsproject/chisel-bootcamp

For actually learning RISC-V, you can check out these books: https://riscv.org/risc-v-books/

The Patterson and Hennessy book is a great starting point and the RISC-V reader is great reference.

The error is understandable, the main prototype RISC-V core is written in Chisel and the "Rocket Core Generator" is written in Chisel. The RISC-V team at Berkeley has a lot of overlap with the Chisel team. So it is easy to think RISC-V is all Chisel. I believe Chisel, Chisel, RISC-V, Chisel, if that makes any sense.

Yup I'm an idiot but I can't seem to delete or edit my original submission :c

Thank you for the information.

Ur good. Chisel.

What do you mean? The core here is entirely Verilog/SystemVerilog

I presume the parent generalized their experience with the BOOM and Rocket implementations of RISC-V, which do use Chisel, to the entire architecture.

Sorry I am an idiot how do I edit/delete my comment so I can erase this misinformation?

Unfortunately, if you don't see an edit button on the comment then you can't edit it anymore. But props for admitting you're wrong and trying to correct it :-)

How can an ISA ‘use Chisel’? It’s a spec not an implementation.
