RISC-V Guns for Raspberry Pi, Legacy Chips

I get it now, and feel dumb - the idiom "gunning for", etc. But my brain instantly latched onto it as a noun, and kept imagining some feature of RISC-V that maybe "shoots" code into other chips.

I had the same trouble as you. I think the problem is that I’ve only ever seen “gunning for”, specifically. For example, I’ve never seen “gun for” as in “Man, that’s one determined team! I bet they gun for nothing less than the win!” — I would expect that to be phrased “… are gunning for nothing less …”.

I mean I don’t blame you, that interpretation sounds a lot more fun.
