Overview

The L11 is a small, efficient 32-bit embedded RISC-V processor aimed at embedded systems with more modest processing requirements. The core has a 3-stage pipeline and with 16 general purpose registers.
The core includes optional L1 data and instruction caches, optional instruction and data TCM, optional 8 or 16 PMP regions, an interrupt controller and RISC-V Debug module optionally with PC trace.
Like with all Codasip RISC-V cores, it is possible to create custom instructions using Codasip Studio to extend the L10 and to generate corresponding hardware and software development kits.

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.

Efficient Verification of RISC-V processors

Processor verification, however, is never trivial but requires combining the strengths of multiple verification techniques. This technical paper considers how to efficiently verify a RISC-V processor using a multi-layered approach known as the Swiss cheese model adapted from the world of avionics.

Announcing Arm AGI CPU: The silicon foundation for the agentic AI cloud era

For the first time in our more than 35-year history, Arm is delivering its own silicon products – extending the Arm Neoverse platform beyond IP and Arm Compute Subsystems (CSS) to give customers greater choice in how they deploy Arm compute – from building custom silicon to integrating platform-level solutions or deploying Arm-designed processors.
