359 Simple RISC-V

359 : Simple RISC-V

Design render

How it works

A simple one-stage RISC-V CPU. This CPU was created with reference to the lecture: https://eeic-vlsi.github.io/2025/. Instructions are 32-bit, while the input bus is 8-bit, so each instruction is loaded over four clock cycles.

How to test

Very simple instructions are written in the testbench to verify that the calculations are correct.

External hardware

The chip is not being shipped at this time.
