  • RISC-V tapeout w chipyard in IHP130! Aimed for the smallest possible system using chipyard; default includes 32 bit cores as examples but the system is still 64 bit. Had to manually modify busses to make them 32. Had to keep L1/L2 caches because they’re expected by memory manager. Made memory appear on chip. Lots of pins that make testing difficult! Serial tilelink accelerates firmware loading vs JTAG. Includes SRAM PUF secret generator similar to Sara’s work.

  • LibreLane used to synthesize; difficult because LibreLane and PDK both being updated until the last minute.

  • Alternatives to consider in the future: Open Hardware Foundation and LowRISC cores

• Yiming Yuan

  • npj article in preparation
