OpenHW Group CORE-V CV32E40S RISC-V IP

CV32E40S is a small and efficient, 32-bit, in-order RISC-V core with a 4-stage pipeline that implements the following instruction set architecture:

The CV32E40S core is aimed at security applications and offers both Machine mode and User mode, an enhanced PMP, as well as various anti-tampering features.

It started its life as a fork of the OpenHW CV32E40P core that in its turn was based on the RI5CY core from the PULP platform team.

Documentation

The CV32E40S user manual can be found in the docs folder and it is captured in reStructuredText, rendered to html using Sphinx. These documents are viewable using readthedocs and can be viewed here.

Verification

The verification environment for the CV32E40S is not in this Repository.

The verification environment for this core as well as other cores in the OpenHW Group CORE-V family is at the core-v-verif repository on GitHub.

The Makefiles supported in the core-v-verif project automatically clone the appropriate version of the CV32E40S RTL sources.

Constraints

Example synthesis constraints for the CV32E40S are provided.
