 An open source development "environment" for the [CH32V003](http://www.wch-ic.com/products/CH32V003.html) with gcc-riscv64 that can be used in Windows, Linux and/or WSL.  The CH32V003 is 10-cent part with a RISC-V EC core that runs at 48MHz, has 16kB of flash and 2kB of RAM and a bunch of peripherals.  It also comes in SOP-8, QFN-20 and SOIC packages.  You can get the datasheet [here](http://www.wch-ic.com/downloads/CH32V003DS0_PDF.html).
 
-The goal of this project is to develop the tooling and environment for efficient use of the CH32V003.  This means making it possible to have basic projects that are compact and requiire no propreitary tooling.
