The SoC, with the Rocket core used. This is very different from SiFive's own U series cores, which are proprietary.


SiFive has E-series (aka "Freedom Everywhere") and U-series (aka "Freedom Unleashed") cores, both of which seem to be based on Rocket. And they do provide high-level designs for both on their GitHub, under a free license.

Based on whatever for the core doesn't matter, as the cores themselves in any case diverge quite a lot from Rocket.
