The SweRV Support Package (SSP) from Codasip provides everything needed to deploy a SweRV-based system-on-chip. The package contains a complete set of components, useful tools, and professional technical support.
The SweRV Core
The SweRV Core™ EH1 is a state-of-the-art RISC-V core developed by Western Digital. Hosted and curated by the CHIPS Alliance, it is available free of charge on GitHub.
Application
The SweRV Core™ EH1 is an advanced high-performance core with small footprint, suitable for embedded devices supporting data-intensive applications such as storage controllers, industrial IoT, real-time analytics in surveillance systems, and other smart systems. The core is going to be used in Western Digital products in the coming years. The design is open for the RISC-V community to utilize and contribute to.

- Clock speed: Up to 1.8 GHz
- Technology: TSMC 28nm CMOS
- Bus support: AXI, AHB-lite
- Programmable Interrupt Controller
- RISC-V debug support
The Support Package
The SweRV Support Package (SSP) by Codasip makes it possible to implement the RISC-V SweRV core at a fraction of the cost of competing technologies. SSP covers everything needed to deploy the core, from comprehensive support for traditional 3rd party design flows to all the components necessary to design, implement, test, and write software for a SweRV-based system-on-chip.
