git clone https://github.com/merledu/5-stage-Pipelined-CPU.git
Create a .txt file and place the hexadecimal code of your instructions simulated on Venus (RISC-V Simulator)
Each instruction's hexadecimal code must be on seperate line as following. This program consists of 9 instructions.
00500113 00500193 014000EF 00120293 00502023 00002303 00628663 00310233 00008067
Then perform the following step
cd 5-stage-Pipelined-CPU/RV32i/src/main/scala/datapath
Open InstructionMem.scala with this command. You can also manually go into the above path and open the file in your favorite text editor.
open InstructionMem.scala
Find the following line
loadMemoryFromFile(mem, "/Users/mbp/Desktop/mem1.txt")
Change the .txt file path to match your file that you created above storing your own program instructions.
After setting up the InstructionMem.scala file, go inside the RV32i folder.
cd 5-stage-Pipelined-CPU/RV32i
And enter
sbt
When the terminal changes to this type
sbt:RV32i>
Enter this command
sbt:RV32i> test:runMain datapath.Launcher Top
After you get success
sbt:RV32i> test:runMain datapath.Launcher Top --backend-name verilator
After success you will get a folder test_run_dir on root of your folder. Go into the examples folder inside.
There you will find the folder named Top. Enter in it and you can find the Top.vcd file which you visualise on gtkwave to
see your program running.
