For our SystemC training courses, we want the attendees to focus on building SystemC models, and how to use those models. By using OVP Fast Processor Models, which work easily in SystemC virtual platforms, students do not have to worry about processor models, and are able to get the most out of our courses. The OVP models work well in our SystemC environment and also with other SystemC tools. We are excited to be able to expand our design service offerings in virtual platforms to our customers.

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.
