OpenHW Programs

ActiveOpenHW Explorer editorial assessment

programs is OpenHW's governance and project-history repository. It collects Technical Working Group and Task Group records, project-gate packages, dashboard data, process templates, and RTL Freeze material, allowing readers to trace how a project moved from concept through launch, plan approval, and freeze. Contributors and researchers should use it when they need first-hand evidence about project status, decisions, or governance rather than technical RTL or user documentation.

CORE-V Cores (Family Landing)

core-v-cores is the authoritative family map for OpenHW's CORE-V processors. Rather than containing processor RTL, it compares the CVA6, CVW, CVE4, CVE2, and CVA5 families, links to their implementation repositories, and records naming rules, release and RTL-freeze policy, TRL progress, and architectural identity values. Newcomers should use it to understand how the cores relate before choosing a repository; engineers should use its release table to distinguish a family roadmap from the exact maturity of a particular configuration.
