Reference Models for RISC-V Processor Verification and Software Development

< Return to Event Page

The open standard ISA of RISC-V gives new degrees of design freedom to system designers, software developers and processor hardware implementers. Supporting the ISA specification is the growing ecosystem of partners that provide the essential infrastructure that developers can rely on from project inception to production. Today’s talks will be with Simon Davidmann from Imperas, and will cover adaptable verification methods that complement the design innovations of RISC-V, plus the use of virtual platforms for software development and architectural exploration with RISC-V custom instructions.
