CoreDSL 2 is a domain-specific language to model processor cores at the level of their instruction set architecture (ISA). Its use cases include the generation of ISA-specific artifacts for compilers, instruction set simulators (ISS) and other validation purposes, as well as the user-friendly specification of custom ISA extensions (ISAX) in conjunction with a high-level synthesis (HLS) tool.
The VSCode extension provides a language server for the CoreDSL language which resolves cross references and validates the syntax.
