The educational VHDL RISC-V core modeled according to the QtRvSim (single cycle and 5-stage pipeline) has been designed by Damir Gruncl for the CTU FEE Advanced Computer Architectures course https://gitlab.fel.cvut.cz/b4m35pap/rvapo-vhdl and tested in GHDL simulation and on Zilinx Zynq and iCE-40 FPGA targets
