GUI-VP -- RISC-V based Virtual Prototype (VP) for graphical application development

GUI-VP is a greatly extended and improved open-source RISC-V VP that enables the simulation of interactive graphical Linux applications. It was created at the Institute for Complex Systems, Johannes Kepler University, Linz. All further work on GUI-VP will take place here in RISCV-VP++

The main features of GUI-VP are:

  • Support for 32 and 64 bit Linux (RV32 and RV64 VPs)
  • Matched real- and simulation-time for correct timing behavior in interactions (Light-weight Real-Time CLINT)
  • Graphics Output (800x480 RGB565 Framebuffer, VNC)
  • Mouse Input (VNC)
  • Keyboard Input (VNC)
  • Efficient boot (Memory-mapped file for rootfs)
  • Persistent storage (Memory-mapped file for data)

We strongly recommend using GUI-VP with GUI-VP Kit. GUI-VP Kit provides an easy-to-use build system and experimentation platform for GUI-VP and Linux.

GUI-VP Kit and GUI-VP were first introduced in 2023 at the ACM Great Lakes Symposium on VLSI, with Manfred Schlägl and Daniel Große. GUI-VP Kit: A RISC-V VP meets Linux graphics - enabling interactive graphical application development. In GLSVLSI, 2023.
