## Dependencies
2020-02-20 10:25:04 +08:00
- Verilator **(4.020 or later)** must be installed on the system if running with verilator
- If adding/removing instructions, espresso must be installed (used by *tools/coredecode*)
- RISCV tool chain (based on gcc version 7.3 or higher) must be
installed so that it can be used to prepare RISCV binaries to run.

## Release Notes for this version
Please see [release notes](release-notes.md) for changes and bug fixes in this version of SweRV
2019-06-02 14:45:59 +08:00
### Configurations
SweRV can be configured by running the `$RV_ROOT/configs/swerv.config` script:
`% $RV_ROOT/configs/swerv.config -h` for detailed help options
2020-02-20 10:25:04 +08:00
For example to build with a DCCM of size 64 Kb:
2019-06-02 14:45:59 +08:00
`% $RV_ROOT/configs/swerv.config -dccm_size=64`
2020-02-20 10:25:04 +08:00
This will update the **default** snapshot in $PWD/snapshots/default/ with parameters for a 64K DCCM. To **unset** a parameter, use `-unset=PARAM` option to swerv.config.
2019-06-02 14:45:59 +08:00
Add `-snapshot=dccm64`, for example, if you wish to name your build snapshot *dccm64* and refer to it during the build.
2020-02-20 10:25:04 +08:00
There are four predefined target configurations: `default`, `default_ahb`, `default_pd`, `high_perf` that can be selected via
the `-target=name` option to swerv.config.
2019-06-02 14:45:59 +08:00
This script derives the following consistent set of include files :
$RV_ROOT/configs/snapshots/default
├── common_defines.vh # `defines for testbench or design
├── defines.h # #defines for C/assembly headers
├── pd_defines.vh # `defines for physical design
├── perl_configs.pl # Perl %configs hash for scripting
├── pic_map_auto.h # PIC memory map based on configure size
└── whisper.json # JSON file for swerv-iss
### Building a model
2020-02-20 10:25:04 +08:00
while in a work directory:
2019-06-02 14:45:59 +08:00
2020-02-20 10:25:04 +08:00
1. Set the RV_ROOT environment variable to the root of the SweRV directory structure.
Example for bash shell:
`export RV_ROOT=/path/to/swerv`
Example for csh or its derivatives:
`setenv RV_ROOT /path/to/swerv`
1. Create your specific configuration
2019-06-02 14:45:59 +08:00
*(Skip if default is sufficient)*
2020-02-20 10:25:04 +08:00
*(Name your snapshot to distinguish it from the default. Without an explicit name, it will update/override the __default__ snapshot)*
For example if `mybuild` is the name for the snapshot:
2019-06-02 14:45:59 +08:00
2020-02-20 10:25:04 +08:00
set BUILD_PATH environment variable:
`setenv BUILD_PATH snapshots/mybuild`
`$RV_ROOT/configs/swerv.config [configuration options..] -snapshot=mybuild`
Snapshots are placed in `$BUILD_PATH` directory

2020-02-20 10:25:04 +08:00
1. Running a simple Hello World program (verilator)
2019-06-02 14:45:59 +08:00
2020-02-20 10:25:04 +08:00
`make -f $RV_ROOT/tools/Makefile`
2019-06-02 14:45:59 +08:00
2020-02-20 10:25:04 +08:00
This command will build a verilator model of SweRV EH1 with AXI bus, and
execute a short sequence of instructions that writes out "HELLO WORLD"
to the bus.
2019-06-02 14:45:59 +08:00
2020-02-20 10:25:04 +08:00
The simulation produces output on the screen like:
2019-06-02 14:45:59 +08:00
2020-02-20 10:25:04 +08:00

See "exec.log" for execution trace with register updates..

2019-06-02 14:45:59 +08:00
2020-02-20 10:25:04 +08:00
The simulation generates following files:
2019-06-02 14:45:59 +08:00
2020-02-20 10:25:04 +08:00
`console.log` contains what the cpu writes to the console address of 0xd0580000.
`exec.log` shows instruction trace with GPR updates.
`trace_port.csv` contains a log of the trace port.
When `debug=1` is provided, a vcd file `sim.vcd` is created and can be browsed by
gtkwave or similar waveform viewers.
You can re-execute simulation using:
` ./obj_dir/Vtb_top `
or
`make -f $RV_ROOT/tools/Makefile verilator`
2019-06-02 14:45:59 +08:00
2020-02-20 10:25:04 +08:00
The simulation run/build command has following generic form:
2019-06-02 14:45:59 +08:00
2020-02-20 10:25:04 +08:00
```
make -f $RV_ROOT/tools/Makefile [<simulator>] [debug=1] [snapshot=<snapshot>] [target=<target>] [TEST=<test>] [TEST_DIR=<path_to_test_dir>] [CONF_PARAMS=<swerv.config option>]
2019-06-02 14:45:59 +08:00
2020-02-20 10:25:04 +08:00
where:
2019-06-02 14:45:59 +08:00
2020-02-27 16:40:53 +08:00
<simulator> - can be 'verilator' (by default) 'irun' - Cadence xrun, 'vcs' - Synopsys VCS, 'vlog' Mentor Questa,
'riviera' - Aldec Riviera-PRO if not provided, 'make' cleans work directory, builds verilator executable and runs a test.
debug=1 - allows VCD generation for verilator, VCS and Riviera-PRO and SHM waves for irun option.
2020-02-20 10:25:04 +08:00
<target> - predefined CPU configurations 'default' ( by default), 'default_ahb', 'default_pd', 'high_perf'
TEST - allows to run a C (<test>.c) or assembly (<test>.s) test, hello_world is run by default
TEST_DIR - alternative to test source directory testbench/asm
<snapshot> - run and build executable model of custom CPU configuration, remember to provide 'snapshot' argument
for runs on custom configurations.
CONF_PARAMS - configuration parameter for swerv.config : ex: 'CONF_PARAMS=-unset=dccm_enable' to build with no DCCM
```
2019-06-02 14:45:59 +08:00
2020-02-20 10:25:04 +08:00
Example:
2019-06-02 14:45:59 +08:00
2020-02-20 10:25:04 +08:00
make -f $RV_ROOT/tools/Makefile verilator TEST=cmark
will simulate testbench/asm/cmark.c program with verilator on default target
If you want to compile a test only, you can run:
make -f $RV_ROOT/tools/Makefile program.hex TEST=<test> [TEST_DIR=/path/to/dir]
The Makefile uses `$RV_ROOT/testbench/link.ld` file by default to build test executable.
User can provide test specific linker file in form `<test_name>.ld` to build the test executable,
in the same directory with the test source.
User also can create a test specific makefile in form `<test_name>.makefile`, contaning building instructions
how to create `program.hex`, `data.hex` files used by simulation. The private makefile should be in the same directory
as the test source.
*(`program.hex` file is loaded to instruction bus memory slave and `data.hex` file is loaded to LSU bus memory slave and
optionally to DCCM at the beginning of simulation)*.
Note: You may need to delete `program.hex` file from work directory, when run a new test.
The `$RV_ROOT/testbench/asm` directory contains following tests ready to simulate:
```
hello_world - default test to run, prints Hello World message to screen and console.log
hello_world_dccm - the same as above, but takes the string from preloaded DCCM.
cmark - coremark benchmark running with code and data in external memories
cmark_dccm - the same as above, running data and stack from DCCM (faster)
cmark_iccm - the same as above, but with code preloaded to iccm - runs only on CPU with ICCM
use CONF_PARAMS=-set=iccm_enable argument to `make` to build CPU with ICCM
```
The `$RV_ROOT/testbench/hex` directory contains precompiled hex files of the tests, ready for simulation in case RISCV SW tools are not installed.
