The core incorporates optional safety mechanisms and security features, providing system engineers with flexibility while meeting their needs for verified and supported core IP.
Codasip L730 is available in a range of pre-verified, baseline configurations that can be further configured and customised through custom instruction extensions.
This is made possible by a new level of customisation in Codasip Studio Fusion: Bounded Customisation.
The core can be extended with new instructions without risk because the functionality of the baseline core is guaranteed in all cases via defined bounds and formal methods.
Codasip Studio Fusion generates a verification framework that aims to simplify the verification of the custom instructions.
The core supports the RISC-V Scalar Crypto Extension and will offer the advanced memory safety technology CHERI for state-of-the-art security.
Custom Compute is enabled by Codasip Studio Fusion: a set of tools for optimising processors for specific software applications.
The benefits of the Codasip Studio Fusion toolset are all reflected in the L730 core, which can be used as a pre-verified starting point to achieve the right level of customization.
Depending on their specific needs and the results of software application profiling performed in Codasip Studio Fusion, customers can either configure the core from a defined set of pre-verified options, create custom instructions within set bounds, or design freely.
Studio Fusion can automatically generate an SDK (Software Development Toolkit) including a compiler, simulation models, debugger, and profiler, and an HDK (Hardware Development Kit) including RTL (Register Transfer Level), a verification framework, and more.
