Examples

To make use of CVE2 please review the Core Integration section of this document. The CVE2 is simple enough to integrate into your own platform. To get you started, we suggest a couple of very useful open-source platforms.

Ibex Minimal System

A minimal example for the Arty A7 FPGA Development board developed for Ibex should be portable to the CVE2 without significant effort. If you are interested in using the Ibex minimal example, it can be found here.

X-HEEP

The CV32E20 (a specific configuration of the CVE2) has been integrated into the X-HEEP (eXtendable Heterogeneous Energy-Efficient Platform). X-HEEP is a RISC-V microcontroller implemented in SystemVerilog that can be configured to integrate a number of CORE-V processors. X-HEEP provides a simple customizable MCU to get you up and running quickly.

CROC

The CV32E20 has also been integrated into the CROC project (An End-to-End Open-Source Extensible RISC-V MCU Platform to Democratize Silicon). CROC is a PULP platform SoC for education, easy to understand and extend with a full flow for a physical design. It states it contains all the necessary scripts to produce an SoC containing the CVE2 on IHPs open-source 130nm technology.
