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.
  - There is an open pull request in the riscv-arch-test repository, 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.
  - Agreed SoW for IITM
  - They will 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.

Compilers / Toolchains

Imperas maintain pre-built toolchains for various in-progress RISC-V extensions here. See the "rvk-*" branches for scalar crypto.

Experimental / development toolchain available in the riscv-crypto repository.
- This cannot be up-streamed, but can be used for development work for now.
Intrinsics proposal from Markku
PLCT Lab are starting this work in an up-streamable way.
- Expecting an update next week. I.e. by March 20'th.
