RISC-V RERI Architecture Specification

Augments Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) features in the SoC with a standard mechanism for reporting errors by means of a memory-mapped register interface to enable error reporting. Additionally, this specification supports software-initiated error logging, reporting, and testing of RAS handlers. Lastly, this specification provides maximal flexibility to implement error handling and coexists with RAS frameworks defined by other standards such as PCIe and CXL.

Compatibility Test Framework

The RISC-V Architectural Compatibility Test Framework Version 3 (RISCOF version 1.X) is now available.

This framework compares two arbitrary models against each other using a reference signature (one of which should be a reference model) and automatically selects tests according to the model configuration.  Because the RISC-V ISA specification allows many architectural implementation choices, a tool (RISCV-CONFIG) has been created to describe implementation configurations.  The RISCOF Framework uses RISCV-CONFIG to select and configure tests.

The current test coverage includes RV[32|64]IMCFD_Zb*_zK*_Zmmul_Zicsr_Zifencei (where * means a lot of sub extensions).  Work continues to expand extensions supported and configurations covered.
