Computer Architecture with an Industrial RISC-V Core [RVfpga] (LFD119x) Course Overview

The course provides hands-on experience with RISC-V computer architecture and teaches how to develop and compile C and RISC-V assembly code for the RVFpga SoC as well as how to use and extend the input/output system of the RVfpga SoC. Additionally, you will learn how to configure the microarchitecture of the VeeR EH1 CoreTM and test its different features using performance counters and industry-standard benchmarks. Finally, the course provides step-by-step instructions on how to execute programs on the Nexys A7 board and simulate programs using: Whisper instruction set simulator (ISS); Verilator-based RVfpga-ViDBo; RVfpga-Pipeline; and RVfpga-Trace.
