Follow on Google News | Codasip Announces Studio 7, Design and Productivity Tools for Rapid Generation of RISC-V ProcessorsStudio 7 is Codasip's unique collection of software tools for fast and easy generation of RISC-V processors. The latest version of Studio offers extended functionality for complete production
By: Codasip Ltd. Studio 7 adds significant new functionality and features, making it the most advanced and effective technology on the market for tailoring RISC-V processors to meet chip designers' application- Studio can be used for: • processor prototyping for a specific application domain, • fast design space exploration, • development of custom extensions using Codasip's architecture description CodAL language. Studio then generates hardware and corresponding SDKs that are aware of the custom extensions, including • Verilog or VHDL RTL and System Verilog UVM environments, • testbenches and synthesis scripts, • full compiler toolchain including advanced profiling and debugging tools, • both cycle-accurate and fast instruction- Some of the new features included with Studio 7: • Native support for industry-standard AMBA interfaces, allowing for easy replacement of other processor cores while reusing your existing, proven peripheral IP. • IEEE 1149-7-compatible 2-wire JTAG to minimize pin-count. • Improvements in clock-gating for low-power requirements. • Major updates to Codespace, the optional Eclipse-based IDE, and the underlying software tools, including support for LLVM 5.0. "Studio 7 is a big step forward for Codasip's advanced processor creation technology, and will take the guesswork out of implementing the ever-expanding number of ISA options in the RISC-V specification. Studio can help generate processors well-suited to the widest range of application areas, from machine learning inference engines to host processor DSP offload, networking, and storage," stated Karel Masarik, CEO and co-founder of Codasip. "With Studio 7, there is no need to settle for a one-size-fits- The Studio 7 processor design and customization tool suite is available now.
