August 12, 2020 – Redwood Shores, CA and Limerick, Ireland.Ashling, a leading provider of embedded development tools, announced full support for the new Cacheable Overlay Manager for RISC-V (ComRV), as contributed by Western Digital to the RISC-V community.

 

ComRV allows large, feature-rich programs but only requires a small amount of RAM (executable memory). Functions and data may reside at the same RAM addresses during different points in execution, managed automatically by the supplied ComRV run-time library.

 

This makes ComRV particularly valuable for RISC-V based designs with strict memory size and power requirements, especially in systems without an MMU or high-end operating system.

 

Ashling’s RiscFree™ IDE and Debugger provides full support for developing and debugging ComRV-based designs within a single software environment using a single debug probe.
