Silicon Labs selected Imperas simulation tools and RISC-V models for our design verification (DV) flow because of the quality of the models and the ease of use of the Imperas environment.
The Imperas golden reference model of the RISC-V core and their experience with processor RTL DV flows were also critical to our decision.

RISC-V is more than an ISA specification, it is a framework of flexibility; the real value is in the extensions and options available for processor core implementations.
The RISC-V P extension within the Andes cores addresses the key real-time requirements in SIMD/DSP computations for new markets in audio/speech, IoT, tinyML and edge devices. Together with the Andes certified Imperas reference models, SoC developers can explore the next generation domain-specific solutions.
