Functional safety is a key requirement in several application domains in which
microprocessors are an essential part. A number of redundancy techniques have been …

Virtual Prototypes (VPs) play a very important role to cope with the rising complexity in the
design flow of embedded devices. A VP is essentially an executable abstract model of the …

Verification of Instruction Set Simulators (ISSs) is crucial. Predominantly simulation-based
approaches are used. They require a comprehensive testset to ensure a thorough …

This paper proposes a roadmap to address present and future needs in space systems with
RISC-V processors. RISC-V is an open and modular instruction set architecture, which is …

Extensive processor verification at the Register-Transfer Level (RTL) is crucial to avoid bugs.
Therefore, simulation-based approaches are prevalent but they require efficient test …

RISC-V is gaining huge popularity in particular for embedded systems. Recently, a SystemC-
based Virtual Prototype (VP) has been open sourced to lay the foundation for providing …

Embedded graphics libraries are part of the firmware of embedded systems and provide
complex functionalities optimized for specific hardware. After unit testing of embedded …

Compliance testing for RISC-V is very important. Therefore, an official hand-written
compliance test-suite is being actively developed. However, this requires significant manual …
