SiFive has pretty good documentation for their cores and chips -- they are more PC/Server class (some lowspeed peripherals plus PCIE and Ethernet) than SoC style. The databook does not have register level docs for PCIE and Ethernet but both look like off-the-shelf IP (hopefully documented somewhere -- I haven't investigated) but otherwise seems pretty thorough.

In addition to a documented RV64 SoC, it'd be cool to see some RV32 MCUs that are a little beefier -- more competitive with the mid-range Cortex M4 and M7 stuff (more peripherals, more SRAM, etc) -- instead of the existing stuff that looks similar to very tiny M0/M3 devices.
