Work description

1. Familiarization with the LLVM / MLIR ecosystem, especially with the current state of the in-house compilation tools that will be the target of the work.
2. Study the current linking method, which combines low-level code ( LLVM-IR code or standard dialects), originated by C/C++ input, with code generated through the custom DSL and dialect.
3. Propose and implement an improvement to the linking process, to generate RISC-V binaries compatible with the target system.
4. Propose and implement code generation for an additional target (RISC-V with V extension), to demonstrate the reuse of the intermediate build layers for different targets.
5. Write the scholarship activity report.
