Help me understand this better.
From what I have read online, since arm just licenses their ISA and each vendor’s CPU design can differ vastly from one another unlike x86 which is standard and only between amd and Intel. So the Linux support is hit or miss for arm CPUs and is dependent on vendor.
How is RISC-V better at this?. Now since it is open source, there may not be even some standard ISA like arm-v8. Isn’t it even fragmented and harder to support all different type CPUs?
I got graduate and masters in the hardware area but learned all of those things about arm and riscV by myself. I only got to see mips and hypothetical ISA in my courses. Heck riscV and rpi didn’t even exist.
All you need is interest and time.
