+Open-Source RISC-V Architecture IDs
+========================================
+
+Every RISC-V hart provides an marchid CSR that encodes its base
+microarchitecture. Any hart may report an architecture ID of 0, indicating
+unspecified origin. Commercial implementations (those with nonzero mvendorid)
+may encode any value in marchid with the most-significant bit set, with the
+low-order bits formatted in a vendor-specific manner. Open-source
+implementations (which may or may not have a nonzero mvendorid) have the
+most-significant bit clear, with a globally unique pattern in the low-order
+bits.
+
+This document contains the canonical list of open-source RISC-V implementations
+and their architecture IDs. Open-source project maintainers may make pull
+requests against this repository to request the allocation of an architecture
+ID.
