To support the ever-increasing features of the emerging applications, SoC engineers face the challenges of the design complexity and time-to-market. They need powerful development tools such as fast system simulation for architectural exploration and SW development, emulation for functional verification and system validation, performance optimization, tough bugs tracing and embedded analytics. That is why Andes has worked with some of the partners on V3 AndesCore processors for many years. We are now collaborating with Imperas, Lauterbach, Mentor, and UltraSoC to provide those advanced development tools for our new V5 AndesCore N25 and NX25, and the RISC-V community.

As one of the first IP providers for RISC-V cores, we see the importance of compliance as the RISC-V ecosystem develops. riscvOVPsim is a solid starting point for developers looking for a RISC V ISS (Instruction Set Simulator) for test and verification.
