Drive Innovation and Cost Reduction with RISC-V Processors

provides tools and IP to safely and efficiently leverage RISC-V¡¯s unprecedented freedom to innovate. As the first-ever multi-sourced commercial-grade ISA, SoC developers need a common RISC-V platform to explore, evaluate, compare, integrate and validate RISC-V subsystems built from a large universe of proprietary and open RISC-V cores. Bluespec integrates deep RISC-V expertise with best-in-class Synopsys EDA tools to provide a powerful out-of-the-box RISC-V development experience that can be easily extended to host any RISC-V core.


Universal Verification Methodology Coverage for Bluespec RISC-V Cores Whitepaper

This whitepaper explains the basics of UVM functional coverage for RISC-V cores using the Google RISCV-DV open-source project, Synopsys verification solutions, and RISC-V processor cores from Bluespec.

Key Benefits

Interoperable

Design, verification, and software development flows verified with Synopsys tools for faster ramp-up 

Open & Extendable

Development platform supporting evolving RISC-V features, RISC-V cores, subsystems, and software ecosystem components

Vendor Independent

Tools support any RISC-V design and offer seamless interoperability between FPGA vendors and ASIC technologies

 

Areas of Collaboration

RISC-V Verification

Synopsys VCS? functional verification and Verdi? Debug System solutions are Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) compliant, and seamlessly integrate with Bluespec RISC-V verification flows. The Synopsys' Verification Reference Methodology (VRM) Cookbook for Bluespec RISC-V Processors features Bluespec's RV32I.MCU.AXI4.DM processor, and includes the recommended verification methodology for Bluespecs entire  RISC-V processor portfolio. 

RISC-V Exploration

Optimized and pre-verified full solution stacks for RTOS and Linux RISC-V subsystems are some of the results of Bluespec's collaboration with Synopsys. These stacks provide the hardware and software necessary to evaluate and compare RISC-V cores in bare-metal and virtual memory systems running in the Synopsys VCS? simulator, the Verdi debug platform, and Synplify? synthesis tool. Users can choose system components to evaluate the stacks for specific applications.?
