Dependencies

  • 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.

Quickstart guide

  1. Clone the repository
  2. Setup RV_ROOT to point to the path in your local filesystem
  3. Determine your configuration {optional}
  4. Run make with tools/Makefile

Configurations

This script derives the following consistent set of include files :

Building a model

while in a work directory:

  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

  2. Create your specific configuration

  1. Running a simple Hello World program (verilator)

Enter here

The simulation produces output on the screen like:

Enter here

The simulation generates following files:

Enter here

You can re-execute simulation using:

Enter here

The simulation run/build command has following generic form:

Enter here

where,

Enter here

If you want to compile a test only, you can run:

Enter here

The $RV_ROOT/testbench/asm directory contains following tests ready to simulate:

hello_world      - default tes 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.
hello_world_iccm  - the same as hello_world, but loads the test code to ICCM via LSU to DMA bridge and then executes
                  it from there. Runs on EL2 with AXI4 buses only. 
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 with preloaded code to ICCM. 

Building an FPGA speed optimized model:

Use -set=fpga_optimize=1 option to swerv.config to build a model that is removes clock gating logic from flop model so that the FPGA builds can run a higher speeds.
