Hi 
As I was checking the milkv duo SoC datasheet (CV1800B), I realized that it supports RVV (RiscVVector extension):
I found a vector sample code to test it out, and when I compiled it and disassembled it , I could see that it did realized the vector instructions:
The code:
#include <riscv_vector.h>
#include <stddef.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <time.h>
clock_t t0, t1;
#define N 31

The assembly:
But when I uploaded it on the board it gave me this 
Does anyone have any idea on why it doesn’t work ?
(btw the included riskv toolchain on milkv didn’t seem to realize the vector instructions so I used the riscv64-unknow-elf-gcc)
