Hey @freemo
I want to explore microprocessor designing (semiconductor fabrication in general) can you help as I don't know where to start in my learning of electronics circuit stuffs also can you show me some good softwares and tools which I can use in my learning??

@mur2501 @freemo
I would start with learning basic electronics, then learn about binary and digital logic gates etc, how components such as transistors work and combine to make gates etc, then move up. to how processors work.

I am not sure what level you are at now, so hard to give you a good starting point.

I am sure between a few of us we can help though.

@zleap

From his earlier response he seems to suggest he is well versed in the theory just has little to no real world expiernce... which is farther along than I had expected from his original post.

@freemo @mur2501
There is a tutorial here on the 8085 processor,
RISC V is more open

https://riscv.org/

Arm Developer site

https://developer.arm.com/

I think ARM is related to RISC V in some way, as RISC is Reduced Instruction Set Computer, where as ARM is Advanced Risk Machine or something.

Could be a good starting point as there are a lot of RISC / Arm Boards out there.

@freemo @mur2501
Just added a forum post

https://discourse.qoto.org/t/risc-v-and-arm-development/618

May make it easier to collate information.

@zleap @freemo
I didn't know till today there was forum of qoto

@mur2501 Infact there are a few services available

https://qoto.org/about/more

I would ask @freemo for more details on those too.
