The OpenTitan repository contains device libraries which are used within our Reference Firmware Images, and can (and should) be used by other OpenTitan device software.
These are organised into the sw/device/lib
directory.
sw/device/lib/base
contains the Base Libraries, including freestanding C library headers. The Base Libraries are simple libraries that can be used by any other OpenTitan device software libraries.sw/device/lib/dif
contains the Device Interface Functions.sw/device/lib/arch
contains the libraries to be used on specific device configurations (for instance FPGA, Simulation, etc.).sw/device/lib/runtime
contains general libraries for more advanced on-device functionality (including logging, printing, and interacting with the RISC-V core).sw/device/lib/testing
contains test library code. Test library code is any (reusable) code that could aid in the writing of smoke, IP integration, or system-level tests, that is a layer of above the DIFs. In other words, this code may make use of the DIFs to actuate the hardware, and chip-level test code may make use of this code to actuate the DIFs.
