About the project
An rv32ima RISC-V instruction set emulator with a minimal set of emulated devices capable of booting Linux. Accompanies a blog post about building a system from scratch.
Useful for
- Build a minimal Linux system for RISC-V to study the bring-up process
- Study the internals of an rv32ima RISC-V emulator from the C++ sources
- Run the emulator in the browser via WebAssembly using the exported functions

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
