Mi-V Embedded Ecosystem
Overview
Open. Lowest Power. Programmable RISC-V Solutions.
The Mi-V™ RISC-V ecosystem is a continually expanding comprehensive suite of tools and design resources developed by Microsemi and numerous third parties to fully support RISC-V designs. The Mi-V™ ecosystem aims to increase adoption of RISC-V ISA and Microsemi's soft CPU product family.
There are 6 main categories that make up the Mi-V RISC-V ecosystem:
Jumpstart your RISC-V designs with Microsemi's comprehensive suite of RISC-V Soft IP Cores. Mircosemi's RISC-V IP cores are readily available for RTG4, IGLOO2 and PolarFire FPGAs.
Mi-V Ecosystem consists of various design tools such as the Libero SoC FPGA Design Suite, Eclipse based IDE SoftConsole enabling quick C and C++ development, a Firmware Catalog consisting of numerous drivers, and third party platforms for development, simulation and debug.
Microsemi, along with partners, supports the most popular commercial and open-source operating systems and RTOS for RISC-V implementations on FPGA
A collection of example projects, drivers and firmware running on RISC-V implementations that can accelerate your design cycle
Microsemi is dedicated to provide excellent customer support ranging from online technical support to training. A collation of various support services available from Microsemi are listed here.
