The SCR1 Microcontroller Core is a 32-bit, open-source design that caters to entry-level and deeply embedded applications. This RISC-V-compatible core is crafted for general-purpose and control systems and features a 4-stage in-order pipeline with optional extensions for reduced base integer and integer multiplication and division. Robust interrupt handling and compatibility with industry-standard interfaces like AXI4, AHB-Lite, and JTAG make the SCR1 versatile for real-time applications. Its open-source stature under a permissive license offers both academic and commercial deployment opportunities right out of the box.\n\nAccompanying the SCR1 core is a comprehensive software package that includes pre-configured development tools to expedite deployment. Ready-made interactive development environments, such as Eclipse and Visual Studio Code, alongside standardized compilers, enable developers to harness the core's capabilities efficiently. A variety of simulators and debuggers streamline integration and testing processes, ensuring this core is not just powerful, but developer-friendly too.\n\nApplications for the SCR1 span across IoT, smart home solutions, as well as education programs, where its cost-effective, low-power design is highly advantageous. With capabilities suitable for smart cards, sensors, and various control systems, the SCR1 Microcontroller Core is a pivotal component in embedded systems, offering unparalleled flexibility and efficiency.
