Help needed in building cavatools
here is what i did. $git clone https://github.com/phaa-eu/cavatools then cloned all the 4 repos into a directory riscv-tools. checkedout risv-opcodes to relavant commit.

RISC-V simulator
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Spike is considered the gold standard for RISV-V simulation, in terms of support for extensions and overall correctness. As I understand it, QEMU is faster and easier to use for day-to-day for general software development.

Hardware/software to run RISC-V ASM?
Spike is an RISC-V instruction set simulator: https://github.com/riscv-software-src/riscv-isa-sim

most underrated cpp project you’ve seen?
I really like the source code for the Spike RISC-V ISA Simulator. It's not very heavily commented, though, so you really need to read the code.

Is there a way to run RISCV sim spike on bare metal?
If you want to run bare metal with no RTOS, it should be possible, but you will need to replace the main startup program (https://github.com/riscv-software-src/riscv-isa-sim/blob/master/spike_main/spike.cc) with some program to set up the hardware and instantiate the simulator, load the OS image etc and then have a decent runtime environment to that supports malloc() etc and redirect IO to serial or flash memory etc. There is a bit of work you would need to do.
