Hello! I'm a student who is learning the riscv arch and the pulpino core, and I wonder how the team of pulpino verify the RV32IM instruction set and the custome instruction set, are your team use the official riscv-tests, or use riscv emulators like qemu or spike as ref, or build your own test sets.
Thank you very much!

Hello,
Pulpino is the name of the complete system, that surrounds the RISC-V core (in this case CV32E40P aka RI5CY) and adds peripherals and a memory subsystem. It was our first release, and for many years is not being actively supported. We moved on to the more advanced Pulpissimo for 32bit architectures. Unfortunately this system is not exactly friendly for beginners as it has some features that were developed for enhanced performance. We are currently working on a more streamlined Pulpissimo (will have a new name) and an educational system that we call Croc (to be released later this year).
In the meantime for a simpler system consider, the system used by Ibex
https://github.com/lowRISC/ibex/tree/mas...ple_system
Or X-Heep from our colleagues in EPFL
https://github.com/esl-epfl/x-heep
As for tests, qemu and spike are emulators, you still need to use some programs to test the architecture against. RISC-C provides standard tests
https://github.com/riscv-software-src/riscv-tests
For your own instructions, you need to add your own tests.
Hope that helps.
