Libriscv – RISC-V userspace emulator library

The fastest RVA23 RISC-V sandbox. Contribute to libriscv/libriscv development by creating an account on GitHub.

Libriscv – RISC-V userspace emulator library launched on November 18, 2022 with 40 votes, #1,101 of 3,471 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

In plain words

Libriscv is a RISC-V userspace emulator library that enables developers to run RISC-V binaries on non-RISC-V systems. It provides a lightweight emulation environment for executing RISC-V applications without requiring full system virtualization. The library is designed for developers and researchers who need to test, debug, or run RISC-V software on standard computing platforms. As an open-source tool, it serves the embedded systems and processor architecture communities.

    Hi HN, This is a small RISC-V emulator I’ve been hacking on in Emacs Lisp as a fun weekend project. It started mostly as a way to better understand the RISC-V spec by implementing things myself, and also as an excuse to write more non-trivial Emacs Lisp. It currently focuses on RV32I and related basics, and is very much not optimized or production-ready. If you’re into RISC-V, emulators, or just enjoy seeing unusual things built in Emacs Lisp, feedback and comments are welcome Happy hacking!

  • I built a RISC-V emulator that runs DOOMMay 2026 · github.com · ▲50

    Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5uygzEmdLw Hi HN, I built a RISC-V emulator that implements the RV32IM instruction set and a minimal syscall interface to run DOOM. A few weeks ago, I got my first output with a simple hello world assembly program. Since then I have been working tirelessly to get DOOM to run. I needed to figure out how to run C programs first, and came across newlib, which allows the underlying environment to implement the syscall stubs one by one until the programs run. I have also added ELF loading, but currently only a single `PT_LOAD` segment is…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • I made a thing! In 2014, I was holding a stack of iPhones and thought to myself: "Hey, if I had each phone display a playing card, I could click a button and they'd shuffle themselves" I pared that idea all the way down to this: trading cards made of e-ink displays. Right now, each card costs me about $20 each, but with only a bit more scale, I think I can get that down to $10. In doing this project, I learned how to design electronics and circuit boards. I learned Rust and wrote my first driver, I upped my CAD skills, 3D printed, and did my first resin casting. I generated the images on the…
