Hobbyists and students often lack access to affordable RISC-V hardware for learning and experimentation. An emulator could bridge this gap.
The emulator would simulate RISC-V environments, supporting Linux and common development tools.
Educators and hobbyists would pay for an accessible way to learn RISC-V.
Start with basic emulation and expand to include debugging and profiling tools.
The biggest risk is limited interest in niche architectures.
