Hello

Hello, my name is Jan, from Belgium.

In the '80's of last centuries, I was very much into the processor architecture and instruction set of the Intel 8086 processor. Professionally, I was part of the development of a cross-system debugger aimed at helping developers create and test software for a 8086 based telephone exchange system. As such I wrote assembler code that allowed the tester to (temporary) hold the native execution of a program (written in a Pascal like HLL but running on one of the 1000 8086 CPU's in the exchange), and read out the value of the HLL level variables. Quite a feat in those days.

Since then, i have pursued other venues in IT (PM, Enterprise Architect, etc).

Now that I am retired, I am here to investigate and support an Open Source (finally!!!!!) venue for a new generation of CPU

Great to have expert like you in the RISC-V development life cycle, which is getting more into prominence now.
