Revolutionizing Embedded Software Development

Introducing Commercial Imperas Tools For RISC-V and Microsemi Platforms at the 7th RISC-V Workshop

Abstract:

At the 7th RISC-V workshop held at the Western Digital facility in Milpitas in California in November 2017, Imperas introduced its RISC-V focused tools and also RISC-V based Extendable Platform Kit virtual platform as part of the Microsemi Mi-V ecosystem. The tools discussed included the Imperas Processor Developer Suite. The EPK includes RISC-V Microsemi components and cores that run the FreeRTOS operating system. Here are the presented slides.

    Imperas is launching some very interesting approaches to processor modeling and software testing.  Historically processor models have been used in relatively small numbers, despite their enormous benefits. The Imperas business model has the potential to make processor modeling an affordable approach used widely across the industry.

    High quality IP is an important deliverable that others can build on, but developers need more than just processor RTL to support high quality implementations.

    All embedded software is closely related to the IP core it will run on; thus, an accurate ISS reference model is essential for all HW and SW adopters. riscvOVPsimCOREV is the key starting point for the support of the OpenHW CORE-V cores by the ecosystem.
