Ashling RiscFree now supports Andes Technology RISC-V CPUs

San Francisco, California – December 6, 2021 – RISC-V Summit 2021. Ashling and Andes Technology announced today that Ashling’s RiscFree™ Toolchain will be extended to support the broad range of Andes RISC-V CPU IPs including support for the AndeStar™ V5 Performance and CoDense™ ISA Extension.

RiscFree™ is Ashling’s Integrated Development Environment (IDE), Compiler and Debugger for RISC-V based development and now adds support for Andes RISC-V CPUs including the 32-bit: N22, N25F, D25F, A25, A25MP,A27, A27L2, N45, D45, A45 & A45MP and the 64-bit: NX25F, AX25, AX25MP, NX27V, AX27, AX27L2, NX45, AX45 & AX45MP.

“Ashling’s RiscFree™ with its Different Cores, One Solution feature set now brings the power of heterogeneous, multi-core debugging to Andes RISC-V CPU users allowing a single instance of RiscFree™ to debug any number of heterogeneous and homogeneous cores” said Hugh O’Keeffe, Managing Director of Ashling.

“We are delighted to have Ashling RiscFree™ support Andes RISC-V CPU cores and offer an additional choice for our customers, particularly those working on heterogeneous SoC designs utilizing AndesCore™ V5 RISC-V processors with increased performance and reduced code size” said Dr. Charlie Su, Andes Technology President and CTO.
