Description

RISC-V defines a Compliance Framework which is available in v0.2 as RISCOF.
It is still marked as beta but is now at a point where it can be utilised.
It allows for a more flexible way to check for compliance.

I hacked together a first test which runs some checks successfully. This is based on the current dv/riscv-compliance work as it will also compare the generated signatures.
It sill needs some work for an initial version.
This issue should keep track of the open points and questions.

Documentation for reference RISCOF, riscv-config, riscv-isac

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing dv/riscv-compliance work and the first RISCOF test, then read the RISCOF, riscof-plugins, riscv-config, and riscv-isac documentation. Use ibex_config.py when assessing YAML generation, and define completion around the Ibex plugin, configurable checks, reference model, CI integration, usage documentation, and the riscv-compliance integration decision.
