+      <p>RISC-V is an open source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA)
+	designed at UC Berkeley.  It is freely available for all uses
+	without requiring fees or license agreements.
+	The RISC-V team intends to provide freely available
+	BSD licensed CPU designs.</p>
+
+      <p>&a.br; (University of Cambridge) now has &os; booting
+	to a single user shell on a RISC-V simulator.
+	The porting effort started only two months ago
+	and is very much a work in progress, requiring significant
+	refactoring and clean up before it reaches a committable
+	state.  Nonetheless this is exceptional progress in a short
+	time.  The porting effort also identified a number of
+	proposed ISA improvements.</p>
+
+      <p>The port currently uses the GNU tool chain (GCC and
+	binutils), and runs on the Spike simulator.  Improved RISC-V
+	support in Clang/LLVM and related tools is highly desired.</p>
