DESCRIPTION:Domain-Specific architectures with accelerators for machine lea
 rning and signal processing require efficient bulk data movement and high-
 bandwidth access to large datasets. Such capabilities are often absent fro
 m minimal open-source microcontrollers (MCUs). \nWe present HyperCroc\, an
  extension to the end-to-end open-source RISC-V Croc system-on-chip (SoC) 
 integrating a silicon-proven HyperBus controller for off-chip DRAM and Fla
 sh memory access and a DMA engine\, providing a practical MCU-class platfo
 rm with streamlined plug-in support for domain-specific acceleration. Hype
 rBus offers a low-pin-count PSDRAM interface at up to 400 MB/s\, enabling 
 bandwidth-scaled dataset access\, while the DMA engine enables autonomous\
 , high-throughput transfers without CPU intervention. HyperCroc preserves 
 Croc’s open-source synthesis and physical implementation flow targeting 
 IHP’s open 130 nm process design kit (PDK)\; the full chip can be implem
 ented in under one hour on a consumer-grade workstation. \nWe further repo
 rt first silicon measurements from MLEM\, the first Croc tapeout\, confirm
 ing that the silicon is fully functional at 72 MHz @ 1.2 V and validating 
 the end-to-end flow.
