The Godbolt Compiler Explorer is a fantastic tool for assembler programmers. In this post, I show you how to use Compiler Explorer to generate RISC-V assembly code and offer some ideas to make best use of this tool.

In the last few years, we’ve seen an explosion of RISC-V CPU designs on FPGA and ASIC, including the RP2350 found on the Raspberry Pi Pico 2. Thankfully, RISC-V is ideal for assembly programming with its compact, easy-to-learn instruction set. This series will help you learn and understand 32-bit RISC-V instructions and programming.
