OVP was selected because of the ease with which models are built and the flexibility in interfacing to other tools. The availability of the ARM processor model we needed, and the open source nature of the OVP models, were also important factors.

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.
