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.

OVPsim beats QEMU in fidelity in CPU simulation - its determinism and speed were pretty impressive. OVPsim configurability is a big advantage as well. We were able to configure low-level CPU features, thanks to comprehensive documentation. I was also enthusiastic about the machine description file. It was easy to connect a missing interrupt signal we needed.
