Montreal
========

A RISC-V RV32E processor designed for TinyTapeout.

[RV32E](https://docs.riscv.org/reference/isa/unpriv/unpriv-index.html)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Reduces number of integer registers to 16 general-purpose registers (x0-x15). Upper 16 registers consume around one quarter of the total area of the core excluding memories, thus their removal saves around 25% core area with a corresponding core power reduction.

Each register is 32 bits wide.

| Register | Description | Purpose |
| -------- | ----------- | ------- |
| x0 | dedicated zero | Source operand for value 0. |
| x1 | return address | Written by JAL/JALR. Holds address to be returned to once a function returns. Must be saved to stack before calling another function. |
| x2 | stack pointer | Always points to top of the stack in RAM. Decremented to allocate space, incremented to free it. CALLEE must restore it BEFORE returning. |
| x3 | global pointer | |
| x4 | thread pointer | |
| x5 | alternate link reg | Second link register for nested JAL sequences. Caller must save if needed across a call. |
| x6 | general scratch reg | |
| x7 | general scratch reg | |
| x8 | frame pointer | |
| x9 | saved register | |
| x10 | first function argument | Also used to return integer results from function. |
| x11 | second function argument | |
| x12 | third function argument | |
| x13 | fourth function argument | |
| x14 | fifth function argument | |
| x15 | sixth function argument | |
| pc | program counter | Address of current instruction |
