Following the success of the CV32E40P verification, riscvOVPsimCOREV was selected as a reference model for the CVA6 application cores.
The selection by Imperas of a freeware license model to support CORE-V IPs is a great move towards the adoption of OpenHW industrial-grade CORE-V processor cores by a broader community.

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.
