Steve Richmond, Co-chair of the OpenHW Group Verification Task Group
Silicon Laboratories
Simulation is central to the entire semiconductor design and verification flow, and while a processor is described in Verilog RTL, the industry standard for testbenches is SystemVerilog.
The Verification Task Group is addressing the challenges of processor verification using the Imperas RISC-V golden model encapsulated within our UVM SystemVerilog methodologies.
Rick O’Connor, President & CEO
OpenHW Group
The defining goal of the OpenHW group is to deliver high quality open source IP cores, by leveraging the leading verification methodologies compatible with the established EDA commercial SoC design flows.
To support our world class IP portfolio, the OpenHW working groups are enabling adoption with tools and software support for CORE-V processors. The Imperas contribution with the new free ISS, riscvOVPsimCOREV will be the foundation reference to all software tasks.
