Another awesome stopgap measure like Proton before the Linux and RISC-V standards take over the market!
This is a Linux x86-64 to Linux RISC-V emulator. It will not execute non-Linux code or execute code outside Linux.
The Linux system call interface is the same on both sides so, when it encounters a Linux system call in the x86-64 code, it makes that call directly into the RISC-V host kernel. It is only emulating the user space. This makes it faster.
