NVE
Co-simulation framework for hardware designers
NVE (Nebula Verification Environment) is an open-source co-simulation framework, that lets hardware designers verify their RTL implementations against a software reference model with cycle-accurate checking and time-travel debugging. The engine is architecture-agnostic and ships with a RISC-V reference model. The grant funds its extraction into a standalone, documented library usable by the broader open-source hardware community.
