Easy migration from Arm to RISC-V: an L110 case study

Last June, we launched the Codasip L110 RISC-V core, introducing the best-in-class solution for power-efficient applications. The L110 is highly competitive in terms of power efficiency and code density. Additionally, it is the first RISC-V core to support easy and risk-free customization while minimizing the verification effort required to bring these customizations to silicon.

A formal-based approach for efficient RISC-V processor verification

In this article, we go through a formal-based, easy-to-deploy RISC-V processor verification application. We show how, together with a RISC-V ISA golden model and RISC-V compliance automatically generated checks, we can efficiently target bugs that would be out of reach for simulation.

SOC Stability in a Small Package

There are some IPs in SOC which are of general use and malfunction on them impacts a entire SOC. We Identified these IPs and analyze impact on SOC due to their malfunction.
