Implement a Pipelined RISC-V (RV32I) Core for Automotive Telemetry
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Implement a Pipelined RISC-V (RV32I) Core for Automotive Telemetry. Expert-level challenge in code. Writing production code that solves real engineering prob...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Implement a 5-stage pipelined RV32I core in SystemVerilog with hazard handling, pass the RISC-V compliance tests, and benchmark CPI on telemetry workloads.
This is not a coding exercise. It is the work a software engineer does between a Jira ticket and a merged PR. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates solve LeetCode problems and none who have shipped production code under real constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Implement a classic 5-stage pipeline with data forwarding and stall logic
- Resolve branches in the right stage and quantify the penalty
- Pass the official RISC-V compliance suite
- Measure and reason about CPI on real workloads
