Chipyard is a framework and generator for constructing custom RISC‑V SoC hardware. Built at UC Berkeley, it leverages Chisel/FIRRTL to generate full-stack systems—from CPU cores to peripherals—and includes simulators, FPGA deployment tools, and integration with Rocket Chip and other RISC‑V ecosystems.

XiangShan is an open-source, high-performance RISC-V processor project that implements out-of-order superscalar cores using Chisel for hardware construction. The design targets modern performance goals—deep pipelines, speculative execution, multi-issue decode/execute, and sophisticated branch prediction—while remaining synthesizable for ASIC flows and portable to FPGAs for research.

Rocket Chip is a parameterized RISC-V SoC generator written in Chisel that produces synthesizable RTL for a wide range of cores and configurations. At its heart is the Rocket core, a simple, in-order, five-stage RISC-V implementation, but the generator composes much more: coherent caches, MMUs, interrupt controllers, and buses via the TileLink interconnect. A diplomacy framework (LazyModules) lets designers wire components with negotiated parameters, enabling reuse and rapid exploration of different cache sizes, port counts, and memory hierarchies. ...

The riscv-boom project (also called BOOM or SonicBOOM) implements a high-performance, synthesizable out-of-order RISC-V core written in the Chisel hardware construction language. It targets the RV64GC (i.e. 64-bit with general + compressed + floating point) instruction set and supports features such as virtual memory, caches, atomics, and IEEE-754 floating point. The design is parameterizable, meaning users can tune pipeline widths, buffer sizes, functional units, and other microarchitectural knobs to explore tradeoffs. ...
