RISC-V Conformance
Finding out if a processor implementation matches the specification is important, but conformance testing is currently not available.
By Brian Bailey, SemiEngineering (October 31st, 2024)
Despite growing excitement and participation in the development of the RISC-V ecosystem, significant holes remain in the development flow. One of the most concerning is conformance, which must exist before software portability becomes possible. Semiconductor Engineering discussed the issue with John Min, vice president of customer service at Arteris; Zdeněk Přikryl, CTO of Codasip; Neil Hand, director of marketing at Siemens EDA (at the time of this discussion); Frank Schirrmeister, executive director for strategic programs and systems solutions at Synopsys; Ashish Darbari, CEO of Axiomise; and Dave Kelf, CEO of Breker Verification. What follows are excerpts of that discussion.
