This is a repository for the work of the RISC-V Foundation Architecture Test SIG. The repository owners are:

• Neel Gala (InCore Semiconductors)
• Marc Karasek (Inspire Semiconductors)

Quick Links:

• Details of the RISC-V Foundation, the work of its task groups, and how to become a member can be found at riscv.org.
• For more details and documentation on the current test environment see: doc/README.adoc
• For more details on the test format spec see: spec/TestFormatSpec.adoc
• For contributions and reporting issues please refer to CONTRIBUTION.md
• For more details on the usage of the current framework see : RISCOF

Note : The RISCOF framework requires a riscv-config YAML to describe the configurations implemented by the DUT

The older 2.x version of the framework (based on Makefiles) can be found in a separate branch : old-framework-2.x. This branch is no longer officially supported and all changes must occur on the main branch.

The following are the exhaustive list of disclaimers that can be used as waivers by target owners when reporting the status of pass/fail on the execution of the architectural suite on their respective targets.

1. For the following set of misaligned-tests, signature mismatches will occur if misaligned accesses can sometimes succeed (without an exception) and sometimes fail on the DUT.

   1. rv32i_m/privilege/src/misalign-[lb[u],lh[u],lw,sh,sb,sw]-01.S
   2. rv64i_m/privilege/src/misalign-[lb[u],lh[u],lw[u],ld,sb,sh,sw,sd]-01.S

2. The machine mode trap handler used in the privilege tests assumes one of the following conditions. Targets not satisfying any of the following conditions are bound to fail the entire rv32i_m/privilege and rv64i_m/privilege tests:

   1. The target must have implemented mtvec which is completely writable by the test in machine mode.
   2. The target has initialized mtvec, before entering the test (via RVMODEL_BOOT), to point to a memory location which has both read and write permissions.

The coverage and data propogation statistics of each test are hosted on Google-Drive for reference. This to avoid bloating this repo in size.
