RVSoC Offers a Lightweight Linux-Capable RISC-V Core in Just 5,000 Lines of Verilog

Designed for both education and potential use in accelerators, RVSoC is portable and fully Linux-capable.

hackster.io, Feb. 17, 2020 – 

A team from the School of Computing at the Tokyo Institute of Technology have developed a portable and Linux-capable RISC-V system-on-chip (SoC) design in just 5,000 lines of Verilog – and pledges to release it to all.

"RISC-V is an open and royalty free instruction set architecture which has been developed at the University of California, Berkeley. The processors using RISC-V can be designed and released freely," the team explains by way of background. "Because of this, various processor cores and system on chips (SoCs) have been released so far. However, there are a few public RISC-V computer systems that are portable and can boot Linux operating systems.

"In this paper, we describe a portable and Linux capable RISC-V computer system targeting FPGAs in Verilog HDL [Hardware Description Language]. This system can be implemented on an FPGA with fewer hardware resources, and can be implemented on low cost FPGAs or customised by introducing an accelerator."
