Imperas Software has announced with MIPS and Ashling a new 3-way collaboration to support developers across all aspects of RISC-V software development for advanced processor applications. Based on the Imperas reference models for the MIPS eVocore P8700 RISC-V Multiprocessor, together with Ashling’s RiscFree™ SDK tools, this collaboration extends beyond the standard level of ecosystem support to enable developers across all design phases from pre-silicon to prototype devices to end users.
