These web pages mention "32-bit RISC-V core that was developed at ETH
Zurich" and then refer to the RISC-V web site riscv.org, where one can
read "RISC-V was originally developed in the Computer Science Division of
the EECS Department at the University of California, Berkeley". Also
Wikipedia attributes RISC-V to Krste Asanovic and David Patterson at UC
Berkeley. The connection with ETH Zurich is somehow unclear. And there is
also Universita’ di Bologna in the mix, mentioned on
www.pulp-platform.org.

RISC-V sounds quite close to RISC5, but the two are not the same. So here
is another level of confusion.

Perhaps ETH Zurich could sort these out and perhaps could somehow bring
Oberon on board of RISC-V, PULP, and Pulpino, which are all somehow
associated with ETH. ETH could perhaps clear the confusion and perhaps
help the future users by adopting the ETH computer language to program ETH
processor cores.

At this point it seems pretty confusing to me.
