Foreward

This document was originally written several years ago. At the time I was working as an execution core verification engineer at Arm. The following points are coloured heavily by working in and around the execution cores of various processors. Apply a pinch of salt; points contain varying degrees of opinion.

It is still my opinion that RISC-V could be much better designed; though I will also say that if I was building a 32 or 64-bit CPU today I'd likely implement the architecture to benefit from the existing tooling.

Mostly based upon the RISC-V ISA spec v2.0. Some updates have been made for v2.2

Original Foreword: Some Opinion

The RISC-V ISA has pursued minimalism to a fault. There is a large emphasis on minimizing instruction count, normalizing encoding, etc. This pursuit of minimalism has resulted in false orthogonalities (such as reusing the same instruction for branches, calls and returns) and a requirement for superfluous instructions which impacts code density both in terms of size and

Problem Description

We have a smol server at home which is among others responsible for music. This is accomplished by mpd.

I wanted to change the output from pulseaudio, because it was making pops every time the playlist was finished and it released the sound card. Also I wanted to have networked audio, so we can watch/listen occasionally on the speakers from our desktop PCs.

👉 This script is in flux, as it may be implemented into qBittorrent in the future.

It's based off the popular wiki for setting up hard linking Docker and other torrent grabbers.
