Register File

Source file: rtl/cv32e40s_register_file.sv

CV32E40S has 31 32-bit wide registers which form registers x1 to x31. Register x0 is statically bound to 0 and can only be read, it does not contain any sequential logic.

The register file has two read ports and one write port. Register file reads are performed in the ID stage. Register file writes are performed in the WB stage.

General Purpose Register File

The general purpose register file is flip-flop-based. It uses regular, positive-edge-triggered flip-flops to implement the registers.

Error Detection

The register file of CV32E40S has integrated error detection logic and a 6-bit hamming code for each word. This ensures detection of up to two errors in each register file word. Detected errors trigger the core major alert output.
