Brave of them to do support for the vector extension, given that it hasn't been ratified / officially standardised yet[1]. It's still a work-in-progress. The final version of the vector extension may have small (or enormous!)

The RISC-V core in question is the VexRISCV core[0]. It comes in two flavours depending on the kind of FPGA[1]: - 100 MHz VexRISC-V, RV32IMAC + MMU, 4k L1 I/D cache on the Xilinx FPGA - 8 MHz VexRISC-V, RV32I, no cache on the Lattice i

It's great that companies do this, but I wish that they would also open-source the verification infrastructure at the same time. Otherwise, anyone who wants to use it in a commercial setting has to either re-do their own verification e

I agree that people would and do find such interfaces very useful in many of their programs and tools. Those with nefarious purposes find them extremely useful too. It's a lot of work to secure those interfaces against abuse.

Hardware verification engineers call it "constrained random verification", but it's basically fuzzing. This has been the backbone of most commercial hardware verification flows for a long time.

I have so many questions: - Where can I get the ISA specification?[1] - Where can I get a compiler? - Is there a link to the "softcore model"? With RISC-V you can start very simple and small (micro-controller) and work your way up
