## NEORV32 Processor/SoC Test Program
|
|
|
|
In contrast to the `riscv-arch-test` test suite, which tests individual instructions and ISA mechanisms, this
|
|
test program is intended to check the _higher-level_ functions of the CPU core and the SoC it is integrated within.
|
|
These higher-level function tests include:
|
|
|
|
* all CPU traps
|
|
* SoC interrupts
|
|
* NEORV32 software runtime environment
|
|
* data and instruction memory layout (sections)
|
|
* basic function tests of the peripheral/IO devices
|
|
|
|
:information_source: This test program is meant to be run in simulation using the default testbench that enables
|
|
all optional functions/modules/extensions. Running this program on real hardware is also possible but might
|
|
cause unintended IO side effects (like triggering chip-external operations).
