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.

Flexibility within a framework of compatibility is the essential foundation of the RISC-V ISA.
The RISC-V P extension defines a rich set of integer SIMD/DSP instructions operating on existing integer registers to support complex data processing within the constraints of real-time applications. However, the hardware specification is just the start - adoption and success depend on the software ecosystem, which is supported with the reference models and test suites from Imperas.
