Day 1
RISC-V Extension Porting without the boring part
<p>RISC-V now spans 100+ extensions and over a thousand instructions. Binutils, QEMU, and other projects maintain separate instruction definitions, leading to duplication, mismatches, and slower support of new features.</p>
<p>UDB provides a machine-readable, validated source of truth covering most of the ISA. Our generator currently produces Binutils and QEMU definitions directly from UDB, cutting the effort for standard and custom extension bring-up. And with automated CI checks against current Binutils data, everything stays aligned as the ecosystem evolves.</p>
<p>In this talk, we’ll show how UDB enables new and custom extension by:</p>
<ul>
<li>Automating part of of Binutils support</li>
<li>Allowing faster integration on other SW projects like QEMU</li>
</ul>
