Guidelines
The goal of this thesis is to implement support for RISC-V processor in the MSIM machine emulator.

At the moment, MSIM supports only MIPS R4000 CPU as its execution unit. The implementation will add support for a new type of CPU with the RISC-V architecture.

The extension will follow current concepts of MSIM where focus is on ease of debugging and reproducibility at the expense of performance. As a proof of concept, the author will also provide a simple bootstrap code that can switch to execution of a compiled C code with a computational task and output the result to the existing console-style device in MSIM.

The text of the thesis will focus on the analysis of the required and optional features of the selected architecture and on achieving reasonable support allowing possible replacement of MIPS with RISC-V as the selected architecture for the Operating systems course.
