Microchip offers the Mi-V processor IP and software toolchain at no cost to develop RISC-V processor based designs. RISC-V is a standard open instruction set architecture (ISA) under the governance of the RISC-V foundation. It offers numerous benefits, which include enabling the open-source community to test and improve cores at a faster pace than closed ISAs.
RT PolarFire FPGAs support Mi-V soft processors to run user applications. This application note describes how to build a Mi-V processor subsystem to execute a user application from the designated TCM memory initialized from the sNVM/μPROM/SPI Flash.
