High quality IP is an important deliverable that others can build on, but developers need more than just processor RTL to support high quality implementations.
All embedded software is closely related to the IP core it will run on; thus, an accurate ISS reference model is essential for all HW and SW adopters. riscvOVPsimCOREV is the key starting point for the support of the OpenHW CORE-V cores by the ecosystem.

Japan is an exciting market for embedded software, and Imperas is addressing the most critical issue, software development. The combination of their Open Virtual Platforms, especially the OVP Fast Processor Models, and the Imperas Multicore/Multiprocessor Software Development Kit (M*SDK), with its advanced tools for embedded software verification, analysis and debug, is a great value to bring to software developers in Japan.
