Running the compliance tests
The only setup required is to define where the toolchain is found, and where the target / device is found.
For the toolchain, the binaries must be in the search path and the compiler prefix is defined on the make line. The default value for this is
RISCV_PREFIX ?= riscv64-unknown-elf-
The path to the RUN_TARGET is defined within the riscv-target Makefile.include.
To run the rv32i test suite on riscvOVPsim
make RISCV_TARGET=riscvOVPsim RISCV_DEVICE=rv32i
Accessing riscvOVPsim
As we create the RISCV.org compliance test suite, the Imperas developed riscvOVPsim compliance simulator is included as part of this GitHub repository. For more information please contact info@ovpworld.org or info@imperas.com.
