## Product Brief

The RV12 is a highly configurable single-issue, single-core RV32I, RV64I
compliant RISC CPU intended for the embedded market. The RV12 is a member of the
Roa Logic’s 32/64bit CPU family based on the industry standard [RISC-V
instruction set](https://riscv.org/)

The RV12 implements a Harvard architecture for simultaneous instruction and data
memory accesses. It features an optimizing 6-stage pipeline, which
optimizes overlaps between the execution and memory accesses, thereby reducing
stalls and improving efficiency.

Optional features include Branch Prediction, Instruction Cache, Data Cache, and
Debug Unit. Parameterised and configurable features include the instruction and
data interfaces, the branch-prediction-unit configuration, and the cache size,
associativity, and replacement algorithms. Providing the user with trade offs
between performance, power, and area to optimize the core for the application
