Extend our Scalable FazyRV RISC-V Core

FazyRV is a scalable minimal-area RISC-V core for low-workload tasks and the IoT. It allows scaling the data path to a width of either 1, 2, 4, or 8 bits at synthesis time and trade area vs. performance. In addition, users can find the best-fitting configuration and trade-off for their system requirements and technology by exploring FazyRV’s manifold variants. This project gives you the possibility to extend FazyRV, evaluate your modifications, and bring your improvements upstream.
