The open RISC-V ISA specification is an excellent starting point and open-source processor IP cores, such as the CORE-V family, have real potential to change the industry.
The high-quality open-source CORE-V CV32E40P core now allows the broadest participation in the RISC-V revolution, the OpenHW MCU Dev/Kit project is just one example of the innovations that can now be developed from the quality foundation provided by the CV32E40P core, having been verified with the CORE-V-VERIF testbench which leverages the Imperas RISC-V golden reference model.

Xilinx
We’re excited to see Xilinx FPGAs, including the MicroBlaze cores, used in a project with such far-reaching impact. High performance processor models, virtual platforms and software development tools, such as are available from Imperas and OVP, are critical to the quality and success of embedded software projects.
