Multi-Partner Project: Advancing the EDA Tools Landscape for the European RISC-V Ecosystem in TRISTAN

Abstract

The TRISTAN project aims to expand and industrialize the European RISC-V ecosystem to compete effectively with existing commercial alternatives. This initiative specifically targets the critical challenges in the development of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, essential for RISC-V-based solutions, by leveraging the synergy between the open-source community and industrial solutions. This paper presents an overview of the current landscape of TRISTAN's EDA flow, highlighting specific tools and methodologies that streamline the early design phases of RISC-V-based systems. We explore the unique features of these tools, emphasizing how they complement each other to strengthen the overall design process.
