ImperasSC

Tool

ImperasSC is a RISC-V stimulus coverage tool referenced alongside ImperasFC. The available evidence describes ImperasFC/SC as tools that auto-generate SystemVerilog coverage models for RISC-V ISA features, provide detailed coverage metrics, integrate with Verdi, and support pre-RTL coverage analysis for shift-left verification.

Overview

ImperasSC is described as part of the ImperasFC/SC tool set for RISC-V verification. The evidence identifies ImperasFC/SC as Functional Coverage and Stimulus Coverage tools that auto-generate SystemVerilog coverage models for RISC-V ISA features, provide detailed coverage metrics, and integrate with Verdi.
