Demo: Catapult Studio for Imagination RISC-V CPUs

on YouTube ↗11m

" summary

Catapult Studio is a freely downloadable, prebuilt RISC-V SDK and VS Code–based IDE that bundles recent LLVM and GCC toolchains, binutils, GDB, multiple libc choices, OpenOCD, QEMU and Imagination CPU models so developers can cross-compile and run code without hardware. It builds and debugs CoreMark on an Imagination RTX M2200 model and on QEMU bare‑metal and user‑mode targets, supports Ubuntu/CentOS/Windows/Mac, and claims 30% LLVM improvements from upstreaming. The package is on GitHub with examples and CI‑friendly binaries, prebuilt RISC-V SDK, runs CoreMark on CPU model.
