corev-gcc is OpenHW's development fork of GCC for CORE-V-specific compiler work. It contains the complete GCC source tree and uses a development branch as the integration point for CORE-V changes, so it is relevant to toolchain maintainers investigating those patches rather than to application developers looking for a packaged compiler. The repository is inactive and is not the upstream GCC project; new standard RISC-V compiler work should normally begin with current upstream GCC.

At a glance
- Role: OpenHW development fork for CORE-V-specific GCC work, not the upstream GCC project
- Default branch: development
- Scope: full GCC source tree with CORE-V changes layered into the fork
- OpenHW context: part of the CORE-V GNU Tools effort for embedded-class cores
- Companion: corev-binutils-gdb supplies the matching assembler, linker, and debugger development tree

CORE-V Binutils & GDB
corev-binutils-gdb is OpenHW's development fork of GNU Binutils and GDB for CORE-V-specific assembler, linker, binary-tool, and debugger changes. Its development branch tracks upstream Binutils while carrying CORE-V work intended for possible upstream submission. This inactive repository is useful when maintaining or auditing the historical CORE-V GNU toolchain, but it is not an official upstream distribution or a current end-user tool package.
CORE-V LLVM
corev-llvm-project is OpenHW's development fork of LLVM and Clang for CORE-V-specific compiler changes. The development branch follows upstream LLVM while integrating CORE-V work, and selected tested snapshots may be placed on a stable branch. The repository matters to compiler engineers studying or maintaining those extensions, but it is inactive, is not the standard LLVM distribution, and should not be mistaken for a supported general-purpose toolchain release.
CORE-V SDK
CORE-V SDK is a packaged IDE and quick-start environment for importing, building, and debugging CORE-V sample applications. It brings together GDB/OpenOCD or QEMU launch configurations, register views, an integrated terminal, and FreeRTOS-aware task and queue inspection. The project is now inactive and its documented host matrix is limited to older x86 Windows and Linux versions with no Arm-host support, so it is best used to reproduce its original workflow rather than as the default SDK for a new project.
