RISC-V Platforms
CORE-V MCU is a single-core RISC-V microcontroller architecture based on the CV32E40P 32-bit RISC-V core from OpenHW Group. This platform includes:
- Open source SystemVerilog code for processor and peripherals
- FPGA emulation targeting Digilent NexysA7 and Genesys2 FPGA platforms
- In development: SOC implementation in GlobalFoundries 22 nm FDX technology with embedded FPGA fabric from QuickLogic for custom accelerators; development boards expected Q1 2023
The main repository for this platform is:
CMC has several active R&D projects supported through Mitacs to develop and prototype RISC-V platforms, including:
- DNA sequencing accelerator in GF 22-nm CMOS
- Machine learning accelerator on FPGA
Project outputs will be hosted in CMC’s Github as they become available: https://github.com/cmcmicrosystems.
