SiFive’s Core Designer allows our customers to customize our broad portfolio of RISC-V Core IP for their particular application. The donation of a robust, commercial-quality simulator such as riscvOVPsim™ will enable them to adopt RISC-V even faster. This is the level of close industry collaboration that will drive the successful adoption of RISC-V.

The RISC-V ISA Formal Spec Task Group will produce a Formal Specification for the RISC-V ISA. We see the introduction of riscvOVPsim as an excellent reference platform to test and verify with.
