How to get started with the RisKy1 Project.

1. Download the first Video and Source code zip files from the Downloads webpage and place the unzipped sim and src folders at the root of your drive in a folder called RisKy1. (i.e. C:/RisKy1/src and C:/RisKy1/sim

2. Watch the mp4 video

3. continue watching the next 4 session videos and update sim & src folders (steps 1 & 2) until you need to run a hardware simulation in Session 5

4. Follow the Modelsim directions below to set up Modelsim

5. Install the RISC-V SW Environment as listed below

6. Follow the Setup a RisKy1 simulation shown below.

7. Run the simulation and begin debugging, experimenting, and adding Verilog fixes, new Verilog code, or creating new C/assembly tests to check the operation of RisKy1....
