The OpenHW Group charter is to deliver high quality processor IP cores for our leading commercial members and open source community adoption.
Central to this goal, the OpenHW Verification Task Group developed and published a DV test plan and implemented an open engineering-in-progress approach as we complete the verification tasks using the Imperas golden RISC-V reference model.

The design freedoms of RISC-V and vector extensions are changing the traditional boundaries between the software and hardware phases of SoC development.
The Imperas models of the SiFive cores help developers with SoC architectural exploration across the full flexibility of the SiFive Core IP Portfolio, and support early software development, which is a critical factor in validating new AI solutions.
