Overview
The L50(F) is a medium-sized, efficient 32-bit embedded RISC-V processor aimed at embedded systems with mid-range processing requirements. The core has a 5-stage pipeline. The L50F has a floating point unit.
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 L50 or L50F and to generate corresponding hardware and software development kits.
