New RISC-V emulator for Computer Science education
Just released EGG, an emulator created for teaching Assembly and microprocessors (designed to suit the needs of the Microprocessors classes, at Universidade Federal do Paraná, Brazil). The emulator will support multiple architetures in the future, but currently only RISC-V is implemented.
New RISC-V emulator for Computer Science education launched on January 6, 2024 with 71 votes, #815 of 4,438 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
EGG is a RISC-V emulator designed for teaching assembly language and microprocessor concepts to computer science students. Built initially to support the Microprocessors program at Universidade Federal do Paraná in Brazil, it provides hands-on learning through code execution and system simulation. While currently focused on RISC-V architecture, the emulator is designed with future expansion to support multiple architectures. It is available on GitHub for educational use.

RISC-V assembly tabletop board game (hack your opponent)2023 · punkx.org · ▲400I made this game to teach my daughter how buffer overflows work. I want her to look at programs as things she can change, and make them do whatever she wants. Building your exploit in memory and jumping to it feels so cool. I hope this game teaches kids and programmers (who seem to have forgotten what computers actually are) that its quite fun to mess with programs. We used to have that excitement few years ago, just break into softice and change a branch into a nop and ignore the serial number check, or go to a different game level because this one is too annoying. While working on the game…

I built a handheld CHIP-8 game console to teach myself embedded systems2022 · github.com · ▲128A while back I wrote a CHIP-8 emulator (which is considered the Hello, World! of emulators and is more accurately a virtual machine since historically CHIP-8 was an interpreted language running on top of the COSMAC VIP to make game programming easier). But a few months ago I got really interested in embedded software, so decided it would be neat to port my emulator to a STM32 MCU and design a console around it as a learning experience, since CHIP-8 never existed as a physical system. I didn't know much about embedded software when I began, and even less about electronics, but I managed to…
