Chapter 2: Binary Numbers Chapter 2 describes number systems and bases, and in particular, binary. Since computer systems use a Boolean (on/off) system, binary is the obvious choice. Chapter 3: Instructing the CPU Chapter 3 starts looking at the instructions to the CPU. This chapter covers how assembly instructions are assembled into machine code and vice-versa. Chapter 4: Digital Logic Chapter 4 looks at the digital components that make up a CPU. This chapter covers combinational and sequential logic. Chapter 5: Computer Components Chapter 5 finally puts all of the previous chapters together. This chapter shows how the digital logic components and instructions are routed to perform an action. Appendix A: Example RISCV Assembly Programs Appendix A shows a series of common RISC-V programs both in C++ and assembly. Appendix B: Advanced RISCV Assembly Programs Appendix B gets more complicated and shows more advanced RISC-V programs both in C++ and assembly. Appendix C: Writing your own RISCV Assembly Program Appendix C has some tips and tricks to writing your own RISC-V assembly programs. Errors or changes?
