Capabilities, Systems and Evidence

Your goal: make one engineering claim that names its configuration, system and evidence.

Narration

Suppose your team is choosing a processor for an embedded controller or a Linux host. Someone says, “CVA6 supports it.” What would you check next? CVA6 is a configurable RISC-V processor family. Its name alone does not select the instruction set features, memory system or maturity level of your implementation. In this guide, we will read three real configurations, follow a short execution example, and connect software and application claims to their evidence. By the end, you should be able to write a useful evaluation statement: which configuration, in which system, supported by which result.
