RISCV-DV is a SV/UVM based open-source instruction generator for RISC-V processor verification. It currently supports the following features:
To be able to run the instruction generator, you need to have an RTL simulator which supports SystemVerilog and UVM 1.2. This generator has been verified with Synopsys VCS, Cadence Incisive/Xcelium, Mentor Questa, and Aldec Riviera-PRO simulators. Please make sure the EDA tool environment is properly setup before running the generator.
Getting the source
git clone https://github.com/google/riscv-dv.git
There are two ways that you can run scripts from riscv-dv.
For developers which may work on multiple clones in parallel, using directly run
by python3
script is highly recommended. Example:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt # install dependencies (only once)
python3 run.py --help
For normal users, using the python package is recommended. First, cd to the directory where riscv-dv is cloned and run:
export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin/:$PATH # add ~/.local/bin to the $PATH (only once)
pip3 install --user -e .
This installs riscv-dv in a mode where any changes within the repo are immediately
available simply by running run
/cov
. There is no need to repeatedly run pip install .
after each change. Example for running:
run --help
cov --help
Use below command to install Verible, which is the tool to check Verilog style
verilog_style/build-verible.sh
This is the command to run Verilog style check. It's recommended to run and clean up all the style violations before submit a PR
verilog_style/run.sh
