Can RISC-V SBCs use ARM software? (sopuli.xyz)

Technically both are RISC based but probably they are way different in implementation. I'm thinking about buying a RISC-V SBC, and I just want to be sure about compatiblity with running ARM based software.

Thank you for the detailed answer. I feel I learned something today.

No troubles.

If you really want to know what assembler looks like and how it relates to higher-level languages when compiled, you can't really beat Godbolt. It's amazing what you can learn from there, and changing options to include maximum optimization, for example, can show you just how much work compilers do for you under the covers these days.
