Description

Simulates the RISC-V instruction set so developers can run and test low-level software without physical RISC-V hardware. It is useful for toolchain work, operating-system experiments, firmware, and architecture education.

It is an ISA simulator, not a full desktop emulator for normal applications. Results depend on the target configuration, test binaries, and assumptions about hardware peripherals.
