SiFive’s Core Designer allows our customers to customize our broad portfolio of RISC-V Core IP for their particular application. The donation of a robust, commercial-quality simulator such as riscvOVPsim™ will enable them to adopt RISC-V even faster. This is the level of close industry collaboration that will drive the successful adoption of RISC-V.

RISC-V Foundation
The free and open nature of the RISC-V ISA fosters unprecedented levels of processor innovation. To harness this design freedom, the ecosystem requires robust development tools and the assurance that verification test benches can be developed and validated on supplier-neutral platforms. Imperas’ new riscvOVPsim is an important suite of tools that addresses this challenge.
