RISC-V Processor IP Design
/CourseBundles(110)/106796-RISC-V_Processor_IP_Design_-_V2-min.png)
Course Overview
The RISC-V Processor is becoming very popular and influential, like the open-source operating system Linux, as it's based on the RISC-V open ISA [Instruction Set Architecture], which is open and license-free. In this AI era, chip designers are empowered with open computing solutions like RISC-V Open ISA to design powerful AI chips using various processors and accelerators. As RISC-V Open ISA democratizes processor design, chip designers can now dream of independently creating their processors and chips with their innovations. So, it's the right time for chip designers and VLSI enthusiasts to explore the RISC-V Open ISA and how to design a RISC-V processor. This course will cover the RISC-V ISA, which includes Base ISAs, Privilege Architecture - Machine, Supervisor and Hypervisor ISAs/Extensions, RISC-V Standard Extensions, Interrupts, RISC-V Debug and Pipelined architecture. As part of this hands-on course, you will learn Verilog HDL and create a RISC-V muti-stage Pipeline Processor RTL using Verilog. Also, you will verify the RISC-V RTL IP design using an existing UVM Testbench[Encrypted VIP] and synthesize it. This project experience will help you to deal with designing any complex RISC-V processors.
