• Test plan for the scalar-crypto specific instructions is available.
• No actual tests suitable for use currently available. An old experimental set need removing from the riscv-crypto repository, as these no longer work with the latest toolchain or architectural test framework.
• What's next:
  
  • Imperas have a complete set of tests, written to the existing test plan, for the scalar crypto instructions and the bitmanip instructions we borrow.
    • These tests will be contributed upstream to There is an open pull request (with some open questions) in the riscv-arch-test repository imminently, with many thanks to Imperas.
    • They form a base we can use to develop prototype implementations / Spike / SAIL / QEMU very easily and quickly.
  • IIT Madras are also looking at writing the scalar crypto tests for integration into the official architectural tests repo as well.
    • Meeting on Wednesday 24th Feb'21 to discuss this.Looking for a template SoW document?
    • Likely path is that they re-implement the tests as part of the blessed coverage and test generation tooling.
    • We then switch over to using the IIT tests when they are finished, since they will be easier to maintain/extend going forward than the Imperas tests.
  • YAML config changes for K have been merged in. See here.

• Work will be done by PLTC lab under the group contributor model.
• Looks like the work is just getting started.
• Need to set up a meetingMeeting on Weds 10'th Feb to discuss progress.

Simulators

Though all listed under "simulators", these are actually a collection of formal model / virtual machine / architectural simulators / DV simulators etc.

...

• Imperas Commercial Simulator
• Freeware version
• Support for:
  • Crypto-scalar v0.7.2, v0.81 + Bitmanip subsets
  • Bitmanip 0.92, 0.93
  • Functional coverage collection.
