# SweRV RISC-V Core<sup>TM</sup> 1.2 from Western Digital
## Release Notes
1. SWERV core RISCV compatibility improvements
* The ebreak and ecall instructions are no longer counted in the MINSRET
control and status register.
* Write to SBDATA0 does not start an SB write access when
sbreadonaddr/dbreadondata is set.
1. FPGA support: Add fpga_optimize option to swerv.config which
eliminates over 90% of clock-gating enabling faster FPGA
simulation.
1. Usability: Untabified all the verilog files.
# SweRV RISC-V Core<sup>TM</sup> 1.1 from Western Digital
## Release Notes
1. SWERV core RISCV compatibility improvements
* Illegal instructions no longer increment minstret
* Debug single-step command no longer executes multiple instructions
* For instructions, MTVAL register holds the address that actually
triggered an access fault
* DICAD1 debug CSR ECC read size enhancements
1. SWERV core performance enhancements
* Improved instruction fetch unit external memory access performance
* Instruction fetcher no longer stalls due to DMA ICCM requests
* Improved performance of streaming stores
* Improved performance of divide instruction
* Improved I/O Timing
* Non-idempotent Ld/St changed to non-posted in MFDC
* DMA QoS Configurable in MFDC
1. SWERV core miscellaneous changes
* Non-word access to PIC memory generates access-error
* Improved streaming performance with unified read/write buffer
* Non-idempotent load enhancements
* Debug, single-step, and trigger enhancements
* DMA, IFU, and LSU interaction enhancements
* Bus error handling improvements
* DMA h-ready addition
* DMA slave error response enhancements
1. Added memory protection windows
* Now able to define up to eight instruction fetch windows and up to eight
data load/store windows. See the programmer reference manual for more
details.
