A Catalog and In-Hardware Evaluation of Open-Source Drop-In Compatible RISC-V Softcore Processors

With the increasing popularity of RISC-V in the academic and industrial world, an ever growing number of open-source implementations of the instruction set have become available. However, it is not an easy task to compare the cores to one another, as they employ different interconnects, build systems and so on. This work presents an open-...More
