Presentation: How to Address RISC-V Compliance in the Era of OPEN ISA and Custom Instructions

• Author(s): Lee Moore, Applications Engineer, and Simon Davidmann, Founder and CEO at Imperas Software.
• Abstract: One mission-critical task for the RISC-V SoC developers and implementers is the need to test and verify that RISC-V cores are compliant to the specifications, including user and privilege modes. The RISC-V market will depend on the wide and diverse availability of silicon devices that can leverage the investment in RISC-V software across all conforming devices. This is only possible when building on a foundation of devices with guaranteed compliance with the specifications. Many RISC-V chips, systems and design flows will exploit the concept of custom instructions or other optimizations, delivering unique features. In these cases especially, the need to continuously test and confirm compliance throughout the design process becomes essential for all RISC-V based SoCs and systems.  The technical issues of determining compliance with the RISC-V ISA are introduced with examples of customer extensions. The question of completeness and specification coverage are discussed and use cases of tool usage is provided. The Imperas experience of examining compliance on various proprietary RTL, open source RTL, FPGA, silicon, and ISS models will be explained with issues experienced being explained. A methodology to ensure continuous compliance during the development process from initial modeling, early RTL through final silicon will be shown.
• When: Wednesday, December 5,  1:35 – 1:55PM
