eeNews Europe Article: Extendable Platform Kit To Ease Adoption Of FPGA-Based RISC-V Designs

Microsemi Corporation and Imperas Software partnered on the development of what they believe to be the first commercially available instruction set simulator (ISS) for Microsemi’s Mi-V ecosystem, the Extendable Platform Kit for Microsemi Mi-V RISC-V soft central processing units (CPUs). The program is designed to boost the adoption of Microsemi’s RISC-V soft CPU product family utilizing RISC-V open instruction set architectures (ISAs). Imperas’ Virtual Extendable Platform Kit provides a software simulation environment for the development, debugging and testing of software running on Microsemi’s RISC-V soft core.
