RISC-V is a popular architecture for microcontrollers and embedded systems.

By submitting this pull request I confirm I've read and complied with the below requirements 🖖

Please read it multiple times. I spent a lot of time on these guidelines and most people miss a lot.

Requirements for your pull request

  • Fully AI-generated pull requests are not accepted.
  • Don't open a Draft / WIP pull request while you work on the guidelines. A pull request should be 100% ready and should adhere to all the guidelines when you open it. Instead use #2242 for incubation visibility.
  • Don't waste my time. Do a good job, adhere to all the guidelines, and be responsive.
  • You have to review at least 4 other open pull requests.
    Try to prioritize unreviewed PRs, but you can also add more comments to reviewed PRs. Go through the below list when reviewing. This requirement is meant to help make the Awesome project self-sustaining. Comment here which PRs you reviewed. You're expected to put a good effort into this and to be thorough. Look at previous PR reviews for inspiration. Just commenting “looks good” or simply marking the pull request as approved does not count! You have to actually point out mistakes or improvement suggestions. Comments pointing out lint violation are allowed, but does not count as a review.

I have reviewed #3859, #3961, #3874, #3733, and #3999.

#3859 - Suggested fixing the repository description to be objective and removing the "A collection of..." phrasing.
#3961 - Verified link functionality and checked for title-case consistency.
#3874 - Check/verified emoji was causing the linting issue
#3733 - Asked to close the PR because the contributor tried to add the official RISC‑V Learn repo
#3999 - Not following any checklist.. just a general one but popular..

    • Must not feature Contributing or Footnotes sections.
  • Has an appropriate license.
    • We strongly recommend the CC0 license, but any Creative Commons license will work.
      • Tip: You can quickly add it to your repo by going to this URL: https://github.com/<user>/<repo>/community/license/new?branch=main&template=cc0-1.0 (replace <user> and <repo> accordingly).
    • A code license like MIT, BSD, Apache, GPL, etc, is not acceptable. Neither are WTFPL and Unlicense.
    • Place a file named license or LICENSE in the repo root with the license text.
    • Do not add the license name, text, or a Licence section to the readme. GitHub already shows the license name and link to the full text at the top of the repo.
    • To verify that you've read all the guidelines, please comment on your pull request with just the word unicorn.
  • Has contribution guidelines.
    • The file should be named contributing.md. The casing is up to you.
    • It can optionally be linked from the readme in a dedicated section titled Contributing, positioned at the top or bottom of the main content.
    • The section should not appear in the Table of Contents.
  • All non-important but necessary content (like extra copyright notices, hyperlinks to sources, pointers to expansive content, etc) should be grouped in a Footnotes section at the bottom of the readme. The section should not be present in the Table of Contents.
  • Has consistent formatting and proper spelling/grammar.
    • The link and description are separated by a dash.
      Example: - [AVA](…) - JavaScript test runner.
    • The description starts with an uppercase character and ends with a period.
    • Consistent and correct naming. For example, Node.js, not NodeJS or node.js.
  • Does not use hard-wrapping.
  • Does not include a CI (e.g. GitHub Actions) badge.
    You can still use a CI for linting, but the badge has no value in the readme.
  • Does not include an Inspired by awesome-foo or Inspired by the Awesome project kinda link at the top of the readme. The Awesome badge is enough.

Go to the top and read it again.

This is a well-established list about a growing topic. Your repository is well organized and comprehensive. I only have two small remarks:

  • [minor] Your repository is called awesome-riscv-resources instead of just awesome-riscv ~ just like the project title "Awesome RISC-V Resources". I am not sure whether "Resources" is necessary.
  • The short description at the top of your README.md starts with the phrase "Curated resources for". The guidelines ask you to avoid describing the list itself.

Good job!

Several issues I noticed reviewing this PR:

  1. Checklist format: The PR body uses a simplified checklist that doesn't match the required template from pull_request_template.md. The requirement says to review at least 4 PRs with detailed feedback — the PR body mentions only 2 reviews, and notes that those reviews were minimal (checking link functionality, suggesting fixes). The current template requires 4 reviews, not 2.

  2. PR description format: The description should be in bold with the URL and explanation per the template. The current submission skips the <!-- placeholders --> format.

  3. Title format: The PR title Add RISC-V is fine, but the checklist incorrectly says the format is Add awesome-riscv-resources — this doesn't match the required format Add Name of List (should be technology name, not repo name).

  4. unicorn comment: The template requires posting just the word unicorn as a comment to confirm all guidelines were read. This is missing.

  5. Awesome list check: The README uses a blockquote (>) for the succinct description rather than plain paragraph text. The example shows a plain text description, not a blockquote. This may fail awesome-lint.

The Table of Contents should include the "Contribute" section. Currently, the ToC is missing an item for "Contribute", so it should be added to keep the document structure consistent and improve navigation.

Good catch by @tahayigitmelek — the ToC should include a link to the Contributing section for complete navigation. I've applied this same fix to my own lists (awesome-crowdsec and awesome-unifi).

A few clarifications from my side:

  • As per the latest guidelines, the requirement is to review at least 4 open pull requests. I have already reviewed two (Add Zig #3859 and Add RSSHub Routes #3961) and will review two more to comply with the rule.
  • The unicorn confirmation comment is already present.
  • The list has been checked with awesome-lint, and there are no lint failures.
  • The README description format used here is consistent with other Awesome lists and passes lint checks.
  • The guidelines explicitly state that the Contents section must not include the Contributing section, so it is intentionally excluded from the Table of Contents.

No offense @wolffcatskyy: using AI assistance for reviews is understandable, but it would really help to double-check the generated feedback against the current repository guidelines before posting. Otherwise it can introduce confusion even if there’s a disclaimer attached.

And @tahayigitmelek: it would be good to verify the guideline requirements before suggesting changes. Adding incorrect information just for the sake of commenting on a PR doesn’t really help move the review forward.

I'll proceed with the remaining PR reviews required by the latest rules. Thanks again for looking through the submission.

You are right, it was my mistake, I got mixed up, and I apologize. I really appreciate YOU letting me know, I might have otherwise never known. Thank you, and I am sorry. Good luck on your list!

@suryakantamangaraj Hello. I suggested adding the "Contribute" section to the Table of Contents because the lint test reported an error indicating that the ToC was missing an entry for that section. My comment was based on fixing that lint warning to keep the document structure consistent.

I mean how @tahayigitmelek
This clearly says, and you can see it if any linting issue is there.. isn't it?

PR checklist has this point as well..
Has contribution guidelines.
The file should be named contributing.md. The casing is up to you.
It can optionally be linked from the readme in a dedicated section titled Contributing, positioned at the top or bottom of the main content.
The section should not appear in the Table of Contents.

Anyway, thanks for just commenting out..

👋 Greetings @suryakantamangaraj,

I have reviewed the latest version of RISC-V Resources. The list is generally in a good shape, but there are still a few outstanding quality issues. I have linked the titles to the relevant criteria.

1. Linter raises issues

  ✖    1:1  Missing Awesome badge next to the main heading                        remark-lint:awesome-badge
  ✖   11:1  ToC missing item for "Contribute"                                     remark-lint:awesome-toc
  ✖  202:3  List item description should not start with the item name "Research"  remark-lint:no-repeat-item-in-description

I see the earlier discussion, so let me clarify these issues.

  1. Missing badge occurs because the badge is not in the same line as the level-1 heading.

  2. "ToC missing... Contribute", occurs because "Contribute" is a Level-2 heading. As per guidelines, contribute does not belong in the ToC. One way to fix this is to mention contributions in the footnotes and without a heading.

  3. This word repetition in [Research](...) - Research is not allowed.

2. The list description describes the list, not the theme.

The current description does not explain what RISC-V is, but rather describes the list.

For example, compare the current description

Curated resources for the free and open RISC-V instruction set architecture - cores, toolchains, simulators, boards, courses, and research.

to a description from Wikipedia:

RISC-V is a popular architecture for microcontrollers and embedded systems.

3. List contains dead links

    https://www.starfivetech.com/en/site/boards
    https://www.riscvbook.com/
    https://ascslab.org/courses/ec513/index.html
    https://ascslab.org/courses/ec413/lectures.html

    https://www.opensocfabric.org/home.php

You can guard against these by using an automated action.

4. List Name mismatch remains unresolved

The PR proposes adding "RISC-V" but actual the list name is "RISC-V Resources".

Thanks @nkrusch for the detailed review, really appreciate it. Yeah, it sucks sometimes if he updates with any refinements on linting.
Let me know if it works fine, if yes, then please approve.

    • https://www.opensocfabric.org/home.php
  • Entry not at the bottom of the category. The diff inserts the entry between "Plotters" and "Robotic Tooling" rather than at the bottom of the Hardware section.

  • Linter issues remain unresolved. nkrusch's review identified three lint failures that still need fixing:

    1. ToC missing item for "Contribute" - caused by ## Contribute being a level-2 heading. The guidelines say Contributing should NOT be in the TOC. Fix by removing the heading and linking to CONTRIBUTING.md in plain text.
    2. List item description should not start with the item name "Research" - entry [Research](...) - Research... repeats the item name.
    3. Badge placement (may have been fixed since).
  • Section-level descriptions describe the list. Under "Open Source Implementations":

    A curated list of awesome RISC-V open source implementations which will inspire you to make yours.
    

    Under "Cores":

    A curated list of RISC-V Cores, available as open source with proper documentations.
    

    Both use the "curated list of" pattern and should describe the subject, not the list. "Which will inspire you to make yours" is also marketing.

  • Three "Uncategorized" sections. Sections named "Uncategorized" under Open Source Implementations, Open Source Toolchains, and Technical Resources suggest items haven't been properly categorized.

  • PR body URL doesn't match the diff. The PR body links to awesome-riscv-resources while the diff links to awesome-riscv. The repo appears to have been renamed. Update the PR body to match.

  • Horizontal rule. The --- after the top description is non-standard for awesome lists.

  • Typo. "proper documentations" (under Cores section intro) should be "proper documentation" (uncountable noun).

@sindresorhus Thank you for the thorough review! Everything has been addressed:

  • Fixed the awesome PR: Moved the entry to the very bottom of the Hardware section.
  • Updated the PR body URL to match the renamed repo (awesome-riscv).
  • Fixed all awesome-riscv repo issues: Removed the 8 dead links, removed the horizontal rule, and fixed the "documentations" typo.
  • Resolved all remaining linter warnings: Removed the ToC Contribute heading, renamed the [Research] entry title so it doesn't repeat, and verified badge placement.
  • Removed marketing blurbs ("curated list of...") to ensure descriptions are objective.
  • Dropped all "Uncategorized" sections and properly categorized the remaining items.

The awesome-riscv repo is now fully passing awesome-lint and meets all standards. Please let me know if there's anything else!
