To run a RISC-V binary on an x86_64 computer, you need to use an emulator or a virtual machine. Here are a few options:

  1. Spike: Spike is the official RISC-V ISA simulator. It can simulate all of the RISC-V ISA instructions and supports the privileged architecture specification. You can compile your RISC-V binary with a RISC-V toolchain and run it with Spike.

  2. QEMU: QEMU is a popular virtualization tool that can emulate different architectures, including RISC-V. You can use QEMU to create a virtual RISC-V machine and run your RISC-V binary on it.

  3. Rust-V: Rust-V is a RISC-V emulator written in Rust. It can emulate the RISC-V ISA and supports different privilege levels. You can use Rust-V to run your RISC-V binary on an x86_64 computer.

  4. SiFive HiFive1 Rev B: If you want to run your RISC-V binary on real hardware, you can use the SiFive HiFive1 Rev B board. It is a low-cost development board that supports RISC-V and has a built-in debugger. You can compile your RISC-V binary with a RISC-V toolchain and upload it to the board for execution.
