[Sticky] New Simulation Tools

We have released two new simulation tools that can be used in conjunction with the “RVfpga: Understanding Computer Architecture” course provided by Imagination Technologies. You can download these two new simulators at: https://github.com/artecs-group/RVfpga-sim-addons

• RVfpga_ViDBo: It performs a Verilator-based simulation of the RVfpga System and connects it with a Nexys A7 simulated board based on ViDBo that allows you to communicate with some simulated peripherals on the board (at this moment the following peripherals are supported: 16 switches, 16 LEDs, UART, 5 pushbuttons, 8 7-Segment Displays). This new simulation tool is especially useful for RVfpga labs 6-10.
• RVfpga_PipelineSimulator: It performs a Verilator-based simulation of the RVfpga System that allows you to visualize different signals of the pipeline. This new simulation tool is especially useful for RVfpga labs 11-20.

In case you have any comments or requests, let us know them through this post.
