RISC-V (pronounced "risk-five") is an open instruction set architecture (ISA) based on established reduced instruction set computing (RISC) principles. In contrast to most ISAs, the RISC-V ISA can be freely used for any purpose, permitting anyone to design, manufacture and sell RISC-V chips and software. While not the first open ISA, it is significant because it is designed to be useful in modern computerized devices such as warehouse-scale cloud computers, high-end mobile phones and the smallest embedded systems.

Example from Riju:

	.text
	.global main
main:
	addi a7, x0, 64
	addi a0, x0, 1
	la a1, message
	addi a2, x0, 14
	ecall
	addi a7, x0, 93
	addi a0, x0, 0
	ecall
	.data
message:
	.string "Hello, world!\n"

Example from hello-world:

.data
hello_world: .asciiz "Hello World"

.text
main:   la      a1, hello_world
        li      a0, 4
        ecall

        li      a0, 10
        ecall
