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.

Features

  • Compose RISC‑V processors, caches, and accelerators via Chisel
  • Simulate systems using Verilator, VCS, or FPGA toolchains
  • Includes pre-built example systems and test harnesses
  • Supports generator plugins and parameterized configurations
  • Integration with RISC‑V Rocket Chip and TileLink protocols
  • Enables full SoC synthesis, simulation, and performance evaluation
