ISAs, registers, and instruction formats: Lab, Review, and Transfer

When judging "ISAs, registers, and instruction formats", what fact should be confirmed first?

Expected answer: First confirm the object, boundary, attacker or user capability, observable evidence, and evaluation criteria.

Follow-up: If that fact is not directly observable, what minimal experiment would you design?

Opening

Today's session focuses on "ISAs, registers, and instruction formats". We will not treat it as an isolated topic. We place it in the course workflow: define the object and boundary, gather evidence, and turn the result into engineering action.

Review

Return to the previous discussion. State one important conclusion in a sentence, then state one remaining uncertainty. We will carry those uncertainties into today's analysis.

For the weekly task "Write and single-step a small RISC-V program.", write the object, boundary, evidence, risk, and next action.

Where is the weekly task "Write and single-step a small RISC-V program." most likely to fail?

Expected answer: Common failures include unclear goals, insufficient evidence, unreproducible environment, and conclusions without process.

Follow-up: What checklist item would reveal this failure early?

Guided question

Here is the first judgment question: if we know only the conclusion but not the environment, inputs, or evidence, can that conclusion guide engineering decisions? Answer yes or no first, then name your assumptions.

Explanation

For "ISAs, registers, and instruction formats", the key is not memorizing definitions but following an analysis order: define the object, list boundaries, state who can do what, find observable evidence, and turn the conclusion into a task or test.

What makes a lab result reviewable by someone else?

Expected answer: It needs environment, commands, inputs, outputs, failure conditions, screenshots or logs, and explanations for anomalous results.

Follow-up: How would you write this requirement into homework or project acceptance criteria?

Practice transition

Now apply that order to the weekly task: Write and single-step a small RISC-V program. Do not write only the final answer; preserve how you ruled out alternatives.

Summary

Today's deliverable is not polished prose. It is a set of reviewable judgments. After class, complete the required evidence, commands, screenshots, logs, or review notes.
