The free and open nature of the RISC-V ISA fosters unprecedented levels of processor innovation. To harness this design freedom, the ecosystem requires robust development tools and the assurance that verification test benches can be developed and validated on supplier-neutral platforms. Imperas’ new riscvOVPsim is an important suite of tools that addresses this challenge.

In commercial semiconductor IP, quality is perhaps the highest priority for successful customer engagements, the extensive test and verification process is best achieved with extensive simulator-based testing. We have already certified the Imperas RISC-V model and simulation technology for Andes N25 and NX25 processors so expect that riscvOVPsim will quickly be adopted as an industry standard reference simulator.

The Imperas virtual platform solutions for software development, debug and test, along with their open-source models, comprise an excellent methodology for development of embedded software for SoCs based on V5 AndesCore N25 and NX25 RISC-V processors.
