RISC-V Supervisor Binary Interface Specification


VersionPublishedDescriptionRISC-V CommunitySource
1.0.0May 2022Describes the RISC-V Supervisor Binary Interface, known from here on as SBI which enables supervisor-mode (S-mode or VS-mode) software to be portable across all RISC-V implementations by defining an abstraction for platform (or hypervisor) specific functionality.Privileged Software Horizontal Committeeriscv-non-isa/riscv-sbi-doc
