Dependencies
- Verilator (4.102 or later) must be installed on the system if running with verilator
- If adding/removing instructions,
espresso
must be installed (used bytools/coredecode
) - A RISC-V tool chain (based on gcc version 7.3 or higher) must be installed so that it can be used to prepare RISC-V binaries to run.
Quickstart guide
- Clone the repository
- Setup
RV_ROOT
to point to the path in your local filesystem - Determine your configuration {optional}
- Run
make
withtools/Makefile
Release Notes for this version
Please see release notes for changes and bug fixes in this version of VeeR.
Configurations
VeeR can be configured by running the $RV_ROOT/configs/veer.config
script:
% $RV_ROOT/configs/veer.config -h
for detailed help options
For example to build with a DCCM of size 64 Kb:
% $RV_ROOT/configs/veer.config -dccm_size=64
This will update the default snapshot in $PWD/snapshots/default/
with parameters for a 64K DCCM.
To unset a parameter, add -unset=PARAM
option to veer.config
.
Add -snapshot=dccm64
, for example, if you wish to name your build snapshot dccm64
and refer to it during the build.
There are four predefined target configurations: default
, default_ahb
, default_pd
, high_perf
that can be selected via
the -target=name
option in veer.config
.
This script derives the following consistent set of include files:
snapshots/default
├── common_defines.vh # `defines for testbench or design
├── defines.h # #defines for C/assembly headers
├── pd_defines.vh # `defines for physical design
├── perl_configs.pl # Perl %configs hash for scripting
├── pic_map_auto.h # PIC memory map based on configure size
└── whisper.json # JSON file for veer-iss
Building a model
While in a work directory:
-
Set the
RV_ROOT
environment variable to the root of the VeeR directory structure.Example for bash shell:
export RV_ROOT=/path/to/veer
Example for csh or its derivatives:setenv RV_ROOT /path/to/veer
-
Create your specific configuration
(Skip if default is sufficient)
(Name your snapshot to distinguish it from the default. Without an explicit name, it will update/override the default snapshot)For example if
mybuild
is the name for the snapshot:$RV_ROOT/configs/veer.config [configuration options..] -snapshot=mybuild
Snapshots are placed in the
./snapshots
directory
Building an FPGA speed optimized model:
Use -fpga_optimize=1
option in veer.config
to build a model that removes clock gating logic from flop model so that the FPGA builds can run at higher speeds.
This is now the default option for targets other than default_pd
.
Building a Power optimized model (ASIC flows):
Use -fpga_optimize=0
option in veer.config
to build a model that enables clock gating logic into the flop model so that the ASIC flows get a better power footprint.
This is now the default option for targetdefault_pd
.
Running RTL simulations
To run a simple Hello World program in Verilator, use:
make -f $RV_ROOT/tools/Makefile
This command will build a Verilator model of VeeR EH1 with an AXI bus, and execute a short sequence of instructions that writes out "HELLO WORLD" to the bus.
The simulation produces output on the screen like:
VerilatorTB: Start of sim
-------------------------
Hello World from VeeR EH1
-------------------------
Finished : minstret = 443, mcycle = 1372
See "exec.log" for execution trace with register updates..
TEST_PASSED
The simulation generates following files:
-
console.log
contains what the cpu writes to the console address of0xd0580000
. -
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 the simulation using: ./obj_dir/Vtb_top
or make -f $RV_ROOT/tools/Makefile verilator
.
The simulation run/build command has the following generic form:
make -f $RV_ROOT/tools/Makefile [<simulator>] [debug=1] [snapshot=<snapshot>] [target=<target>] [TEST=<test>] [TEST_DIR=<path_to_test_dir>] [CONF_PARAMS=<veer.config option>]
where:
-
<simulator>
- can beverilator
(by default)irun
- Cadence xrun,vcs
- Synopsys VCS,vlog
- Mentor Questa,riviera
- Aldec Riviera-PRO; if not provided,make
cleans the work directory, builds a Verilator executable and runs a test. -
debug=1
- allows VCD generation for verilator, VCS and Riviera-PRO and SHM waves for irun option. -
<target>
- predefined CPU configurationsdefault
(by default),default_ahb
,default_pd
,high_perf
-
TEST
- allows to run a C (.c) or assembly ( .s) test, hello_world is run by default -
TEST_DIR
- alternative to test source directorytestbench/asm
-
<snapshot>
- run and build executable model of custom CPU configuration, remember to providesnapshot
argument for runs on custom configurations. -
CONF_PARAMS
- configuration parameter for veer.config, ex:CONF_PARAMS=-unset=dccm_enable
to build with no DCCM
Example:
make -f $RV_ROOT/tools/Makefile verilator TEST=cmark
will simulate the testbench/asm/cmark.c
program with Verilator on the 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 a program.hex
file used by the simulation. The private Makefile should be in the same directory
as the test source.
(the program.hex
file is loaded to instruction and data bus memory slaves and
optionally to DCCM/ICCM at the beginning of simulation).
Note: You may need to delete program.hex
file from work directory, when running a new test.
The $RV_ROOT/testbench/asm
directory contains thefollowing tests ready to simulate:
-
hello_world
- default test to run, prints Hello World message to screen andconsole.log
-
hello_world_dccm
- same as above, but takes the string from preloaded DCCM. -
hello_world_iccm
- same as above, but CPU copies the code from external memory to ICCM via AXI LSU to DMA bridge and then jumps there. The test runs only on CPU configurations with ICCM and AXI bus. -
cmark
- coremark benchmark running with code and data in external memories -
cmark_dccm
- same as above, running data and stack from DCCM (faster) -
cmark_iccm
- same as above, but with code preloaded to iccm - runs only on CPU with ICCM; use theCONF_PARAMS=-set=iccm_enable
argument tomake
to build CPU with ICCM -
dhry
- dhrystone benchmark - example of multi source files program
The $RV_ROOT/testbench/hex
directory contains precompiled hex files of the tests, ready for simulation in case RISC-V SW tools are not installed.
