Rocket Chip SoC Generator

Concept

Rocket Chip SoC Generator is a framework referenced in processor-verification research as the generator used for the Rocket Core and BOOM Core RISC-V processors. The cited evidence identifies Rocket as an open-source, general-purpose, in-order RISC-V core and BOOM as an out-of-order, superscalar RISC-V core, both associated with the same Rocket Chip SoC Generator framework and Chisel-based design flows.

Overview

The Rocket Chip SoC Generator is described in the available evidence as a framework used to generate RISC-V processor cores. In the ProcessorFuzz evaluation, the authors state that the Rocket Core is an open-source, general-purpose, in-order RISC-V processor core that can be generated using the Rocket Chip SoC Generator framework. The same source states that the BOOM Core is an out-of-order, superscalar RISC-V processor core that can also be generated from the same framework. [generator-cores]
