Visited AliExpress to get something and discovered that a ten-cent RISC-V MCU mounted on a small PCB was only about $3 shipped. Just downloaded the toolchain. I'm interested in comparing it against the ARM-3 and -4 MCUs.

I like „open sourced” solutions, but it's not decisive criterion. Have a look at this paper: https://gist.github.com/erincandescent/8a10eeeea1918ee4f9d9982f7618ef68I've been pretty underwhelmed by RISC-V so far. It seems like a lot of sizzle and not a lot of steak.
