Simple Calculator

Implement a program, that loads two numbers from the serial port, adds them together and prints them to the serial port.

The C language program execution requires at least a minimal startup code sequence, even for the simplest bare-metal environment. The C code ABI for RISC-V requires at least to set global pointer (gp) register, see the file crt0local.S.

The file crt0local.S will be included in the execution directory and linked with your program.

The complete task description can also be found here, Makefile and template files for your own testing can be found on GitLab.

Input: Simple calculator.
In: Two numbers present at the serial port.
Out: Their sum to the serial port.

Your program will be run with the following arguments: --dump-cycles --cycle-limit 5000 submission
Your program will be scored by this following metric: Runtime of the program in cycles.

For interactive solution, you can use QtRvSim. The web version of the simulator is located here.
