This week's entry is fairly short, but it does come with one major improvement: we now have a mailing list!

Last Week in RISC-V: Sept 7, 2018

Sep 07, 2018
This is the last version of "Last Week in RISC-V" that I plan on sending to the various mailing lists, as we'll be posting the rest of them on SiFive's Blog. I didn't get any contributions, but I also haven't gotten through my email yet -- sorry if I missed anything that's been sent it, but I'm not...
