riscv_instr_sequence.sv

Overview

riscv_instr_sequence.sv is a SystemVerilog source file in the chipsalliance/riscv-dv repository, located under the src/ directory on the repository’s master branch.[1] The surrounding repository is described as a “Random instruction generator for RISC-V processor verification,” indicating that this file belongs to the RISC-V DV verification stimulus-generation codebase.[1]

Repository Context

Attribute Value
Repository chipsalliance/riscv-dv
File path src/riscv_instr_sequence.sv
Branch shown master
Repository description Random instruction generator for RISC-V processor verification
Hosting platform GitHub

The GitHub metadata identifies the page as riscv-dv/src/riscv_instr_sequence.sv at master · chipsalliance/riscv-dv, and the Open Graph URL points to https://github.com/chipsalliance/riscv-dv/blob/master/src/riscv_instr_sequence.sv.[1]

Purpose in the Project

Based on its name and repository placement, riscv_instr_sequence.sv is part of the RISC-V instruction-sequence generation infrastructure used by riscv-dv for processor verification. The evidence explicitly establishes that the repository generates random RISC-V instructions for verification, and this file is one of the source files within that generator.[1]

Technical Scope

The available evidence confirms the following:

  • The file is named riscv_instr_sequence.sv.[1]
  • It resides in the src/ directory of chipsalliance/riscv-dv.[1]
  • It is associated with a RISC-V random instruction generator used for processor verification.[1]
  • The referenced version is on the master branch.[1]

The provided evidence does not include the actual SystemVerilog source contents, so specific implementation details—such as class definitions, constraints, methods, inheritance structure, or sequence-generation algorithms—cannot be verified from the supplied material alone.

Notes

Because only repository metadata and page-description information were provided, this article avoids asserting internal behavior beyond what is supported by the evidence. For implementation-level documentation, the source body of src/riscv_instr_sequence.sv would be required.
