Valtrix Systems [https://www.valtrix.in/], provider of design verification 
products for building functionally correct CPU and system-on-chip 
implementations, announced today that StarFive [https://starfivetech.com/], a 
leading provider of RISC-V processors, platforms and solutions in China, has 
licensed STING for verification of the next generation of RISC-V processors.

    STING, a design verification product from Valtrix, uses software-driven 
methodology to check the functional correctness and architectural compliance of 
RISC-V implementations. The product also consists of a RISC-V architecture 
verification suite and stimulus programming framework to provide the 
engineering teams an easy ramp into verification readiness and a platform to 
extend the base stimulus by writing custom tests.

   StarFive's CTO, Morton Yu said: "We are delighted to work with Valtrix 
Systems. Its design verification tool STING features a highly flexible stimulus 
development framework and a large library of test stimulus. These add a new 
level of testing before the release of our next-generation processor design. 
StarFive has always looked to contribute to a more complete RISC-V processor 
ecosystem and we look forward to deepening our collaboration with Valtrix in 
delivering more powerful RISC-V technology."

    "The open-source and modular RISC-V architecture allows CPU developers to 
innovate and customize their offerings to meet the application needs. 
Verification of custom implementations can be challenging and it needs a 
versatile solution which can adapt according to the requirements of the design 
configuration," said Shubhodeep Roy Choudhury, CEO of Valtrix. "STING's 
well-proven verification methodology has been deployed and used successfully by 
multiple RISC-V developers and we are proud to partner with StarFive and help 
them in their endeavor of developing advanced RISC-V implementations," he added.

   About Valtrix's STING Design Verification Tool

   STING, the flagship product of Valtrix, is a commerically supported design 
verification tool for RISC-V based implementations. It can be configured to 
generate portable bare-metal programs containing self-checking 
architecturally-correct test stimulus, which can then be enabled on simulation, 
FPGA prototypes, emulation or silicon.
