# Crypto Accelerator Chip

**Caravel builds at [asinghani/crypto-accelerator-builds](https://github.com/asinghani/crypto-accelerator-builds)**

Build configs and RTL at [asinghani/crypto-accelerator-chip](https://github.com/asinghani/crypto-accelerator-chip)

Accelerator RTL is at [asinghani/crypto-accelerator](https://github.com/asinghani/crypto-accelerator)

AES128 accelerator on SKY130 process node.

Accelerator accessible over wishbone bus from RISC-V SoC.


# Original Caravel documentation:

A template SoC for Google SKY130 free shuttles. It is still WIP. The current SoC architecture is given below.

## Getting Started:

* For information on tooling and versioning, please refer to [this][1].

Start by cloning the repo and uncompressing the files.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/efabless/caravel.git
cd caravel
make uncompress
```

Then you need to install the open_pdks prerequisite:
 - [Magic VLSI Layout Tool](http://opencircuitdesign.com/magic/index.html) is needed to run open_pdks -- version >= 8.3.60*

 > \* Note: You can avoid the need for the magic prerequisite by using the openlane docker to do the installation step in open_pdks. This could be done by cloning [openlane](https://github.com/efabless/openlane/tree/master) and running this [script](https://github.com/efabless/openlane/blob/master/travisCI/travisBuild.sh) in the openlane root directrory.

Install the required version of the PDK by running the following commands:

```bash
export PDK_ROOT=<The place where you want to install the pdk>
make pdk
```

Then, you can learn more about the caravel chip by watching these video:
- Caravel User Project Features -- https://youtu.be/zJhnmilXGPo
- Aboard Caravel -- How to put your design on Caravel? -- https://youtu.be/9QV8SDelURk
- Things to Clarify About Caravel -- What versions to use with Caravel? -- https://youtu.be/-LZ522mxXMw
    - You could only use openlane:rc5
    - Make sure you have the commit hashes provided here inside the [Makefile](./Makefile)
## Aboard Caravel:

Your area is the full user_project_wrapper, so feel free to add your project there or create a differnt macro and harden it seperately then insert it into the user_project_wrapper. For example, if your design is analog or you're using a different tool other than OpenLANE.

If you will use OpenLANE to harden your design, go through the instructions in this [README.md][0].

You must copy your synthesized gate-level-netlist for `user_project_wrapper` to `verilog/gl/` and overwrite `user_project_wrapper.v`. Otherwise, you can point to it in [info.yaml](info.yaml).

> Note: If you're using openlane to harden your design, you should find the synthesized gate-level-netlist here: `openlane/user_project_wrapper/runs/user_project_wrapper/results/synthesis/user_project_wrapper.synthesis.v`.

Then, you will need to put your design aboard the Caravel chip. Make sure you have the following:

- [Magic VLSI Layout Tool](http://opencircuitdesign.com/magic/index.html) installed on your machine. We may provide a Dockerized version later.\*
- You have your user_project_wrapper.gds under `./gds/` in the Caravel directory.

 > \* **Note:** You can avoid the need for the magic prerequisite by using the openlane docker to run the make step. This [section](#running-make-using-openlane-magic) shows how.

Run the following command:

```bash
export PDK_ROOT=<The place where the installed pdk resides. The same PDK_ROOT used in the pdk installation step>
make
```

This should merge the GDSes using magic and you'll end up with your version of `./gds/caravel.gds`. You should expect ~100 magic DRC violations with the current "development" state of caravel.

## Running Make using OpenLANE Magic

To use the magic installed inside Openlane to complete the final GDS streaming out step, export the following:

```bash
export PDK_ROOT=<The location where the pdk is installed>
export OPENLANE_ROOT=<the absolute path to the openlane directory cloned or to be cloned>
export IMAGE_NAME=<the openlane image name installed on your machine. Preferably openlane:rc5>
export CARAVEL_PATH=$(pwd)
```

Then, mount the docker:

```bash
docker run -it -v $CARAVEL_PATH:$CARAVEL_PATH -v $OPENLANE_ROOT:/openLANE_flow -v $PDK_ROOT:$PDK_ROOT -e CARAVEL_PATH=$CARAVEL_PATH -e PDK_ROOT=$PDK_ROOT -u $(id -u $USER):$(id -g $USER) $IMAGE_NAME
```

Finally, once inside the docker run the following commands:
```bash
cd $CARAVEL_PATH
make
exit
```

This should merge the GDSes using magic and you'll end up with your version of `./gds/caravel.gds`. You should expect ~100 magic DRC violations with the current "development" state of caravel.

## Required Directory Structure

- ./gds/ : includes all the gds files used or produced from the project.
- ./def/ : includes all the def files used or produced from the project.
- ./lef/ : includes all the lef files used or produced from the project.
- ./mag/ : includes all the mag files used or produced from the project.
- ./maglef/ : includes all the maglef files used or produced from the project.
- ./spi/lvs/ : includes all the maglef files used or produced from the project.
- ./verilog/dv/ : includes all the simulation test benches and how to run them. 
- ./verilog/gl/ : includes all the synthesized/elaborated netlists. 
- ./verilog/rtl/ : includes all the Verilog RTLs and source files.
- ./openlane/`<macro>`/ : includes all configuration files used to run openlane on your project.
- info.yaml: includes all the info required in [this example](info.yaml). Please make sure that you are pointing to an elaborated caravel netlist as well as a synthesized gate-level-netlist for the user_project_wrapper

## Managment SoC
The managment SoC runs firmware that can be used to:
- Configure User Project I/O pads
- Observe and control User Project signals (through on-chip logic analyzer probes)
- Control the User Project power supply

The memory map of the management SoC can be found [here](verilog/rtl/README)

## User Project Area
This is the user space. It has limited silicon area (TBD, about 3.1mm x 3.8mm) as well as a fixed number of I/O pads (37) and power pads (10).  See [the Caravel  premliminary datasheet](doc/caravel_datasheet.pdf) for details.
The repository contains a [sample user project](/verilog/rtl/user_proj_example.v) that contains a binary 32-bit up counter.  </br>

<p align="center">
<img src="/doc/counter_32.png" width="50%" height="50%">
</p>

The firmware running on the Management Area SoC, configures the I/O pads used by the counter and uses the logic probes to observe/control the counter. Three firmware examples are provided:
1. Configure the User Project I/O pads as o/p. Observe the counter value in the testbench: [IO_Ports Test](verilog/dv/caravel/user_proj_example/io_ports).
2. Configure the User Project I/O pads as o/p. Use the Chip LA to load the counter and observe the o/p till it reaches 500: [LA_Test1](verilog/dv/caravel/user_proj_example/la_test1).
3. Configure the User Project I/O pads as o/p. Use the Chip LA to control the clock source and reset signals and observe the counter value for five clock cylcles:  [LA_Test2](verilog/dv/caravel/user_proj_example/la_test2).
