- A new parameter and a run-time control bit (DataIndTiming and data_ind_timing) enabling different behaviour for running security critical code sections. - In the new mode, all branches act as if taken, with not-taken branches executing as a branch to the next instruction. - This should give similar execution time/power characteristics regardless of the branch condition. - Note that with the BranchTargetALU, branches stall an extra cycle in secure mode to avoid factoring the branch-taken decision into the branch target address mux.

Ibex RISC-V Core
Ibex is a small and efficient, 32-bit, in-order RISC-V core with a 2-stage pipeline that implements the RV32IMC instruction set architecture.
Ibex offers several configuration parameters to meet the needs of various application scenarios. The options include two different choices for the architecture of the multiplier and divider unit, as well as the possibility to drop the support for the "M" extension completely. In addition, the "E" extension can be enabled when opting for a minimum-area configuration.
This core was initially developed as part of the PULP platform under the name "Zero-riscy" [1], and has been contributed to lowRISC who maintains it and develops it further. It is under active development, with further code cleanups, feature additions, and test and verification planned for the future.
