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.

- Role: CORE-V Clang/LLVM development before proposed upstream inclusion
- Upstream boundary: OpenHW fork, not the standard LLVM distribution
- Development branch: tracks upstream LLVM while incorporating CORE-V changes
- Stable branch: optional tested snapshots at significant feature points
- Scope: full LLVM project source tree with a CORE-V-specific development preface and branch model

CORE-V GCC
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.
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.
