RISC-V (rv32i) emulator in C \
This is just for me to understand how all this works, and to learn something new. \
So don't use it.

Example programs:
- `return.bin` returns -1094647826 (puts it to register 10)
- `return2.elf` returns a different value with more steps. if it returns DADD, something's wrong

Emulator exit codes:
- `-1` - reached end of address space
- `0` - never happens
- `1` - invalid opcode
- `2` - illegal instruction argument (like funct3)

Compile:
0. Requirements: `libelf`
1. ```
   make
   ``` - should display no warnings
2. Executable is `build/criscv`

Compile programs:
0. Get the toolchain obviously
1. ```
   riscv32-unknown-elf-gcc -ffreestanding -nostdlib -Ttext=0x0 -e main -O0 -o program.elf program.c
   ```
3. `program.bin` is the binary file with the program, pass it as an argument

rv32i, ilp32 compatible toolchain for 64bit Linux: [download](https://lfs.m724.eu/toolchain.tar.zst) `adaa74f263dcba430da588b1109bc3b90bd90a84c67b06213bd03a7bbacd1a2a` \
Or just the stuff necessary to make a binary file: [download](https://lfs.m724.eu/toolchainlite.tar.zst) `55e79dff7ba4093dedb8151461508fc157525ad89615d49d737845af03d1643f` \
Those were compiled with `./configure --prefix=$(pwd)/../toolchain --with-arch=rv32i --with-abi=ilp32` and `make`
