-# DBT-RISE-RISCV
+# RISCV-VP
 Am instruction set simulator based on DBT-RISE implementing the RISC-V ISA. The project is hosted at https://git.minres.com/DBT-RISE/DBT-RISE-RISCV .

-This is work in progress, so use at your own risk. Goal is to implement an open-source ISS which can easily embedded e.g. into SystemC Virtual Prototypes. It used code generation to allow easy extension and adaptation of the used instruction.
-The RISC-V ISS reaches about 30MIPS running on Intel Core i7-2600K.

-**Planned features**
-
-* add platform peripherals beyond programmers view to resemble E300 platform

 **Quick start**
 
-* you need to have a C++11 capable compiler, make, python, and cmake installed
+* you need to have a C++11 capable compiler (e.g. gcc >= 4.8), make, python, and cmake installed
 * install LLVM >= 4.0 according to http://apt.llvm.org/ (if it is not already provided by your distribution e.g by Ubuntu 18.04)
 * install conan.io (see also http://docs.conan.io/en/latest/installation.html):
