The board is based on the SiFive FU740-C000 SoC, which uses
a quad-core U74 CPU.  Reading the [U74 Core Complex Manual],
we find that it supports the Zba and Zbb instruction set
extensions.

Though on the other hand, if I actually try to execute a program
using the CTZ instruction, I get a SIGILL... what's going on here?

Yours,
Robert Clausecker
