Abstract

RVPC is an open-source hardware and free/libre open-source software EUR 1.00 retro-style computer project built around the CH32V003 RISC-V microcontroller. It has 16 KB of Flash, 2 KB of RAM, a buzzer, and VGA and PS/2 interfaces.

The software is developed by the community and includes a Woz-like monitor, Tiny BASIC, Towers of Hanoi, Tetris, Invaders, and other games.

At FOSDEM 2026, you will have the opportunity to build your own RVPC computer during the soldering workshop, which will take place on Saturday from 10:00 to 16:00. We will have 12 seats equipped with soldering irons and tools.

Participation is free of charge, and you can take the RVPC you build home with you.
