RISC V core customization YiFive SOC

  • Update: Modified some of the system verilog syntax to basic verilog syntax to compile/synthesis in open source tool like simulator (iverilog) and synthesis (yosys).
  • Modification: Modified the AXI/AHB interface to wishbone interface towards instruction & data memory interface

8bit SDRAM Controller

Prerequisites

  • Docker (ensure docker daemon is running) -- tested with version 19.03.12, but any recent version should suffice.

Environment setting

    export CARAVEL_ROOT=<Carvel Installed Path>
    export OPENLANE_ROOT=<OpenLane Installed Path>
    export PDK_ROOT=<PDK Installed Path>

Running Simulation

Examples:

    make verify-wb_port  
    make verify-risc_hello

    1. FastRoute - Performs global routing to generate a guide file for the detailed router
    2. CU-GR - Another option for performing global routing.
    3. TritonRoute - Performs detailed routing
    4. SPEF-Extractor - Performs SPEF extraction
  6. GDSII Generation
    1. Magic - Streams out the final GDSII layout file from the routed def
    2. Klayout - Streams out the final GDSII layout file from the routed def as a back-up
  7. Checks
    1. Magic - Performs DRC Checks & Antenna Checks
    2. Klayout - Performs DRC Checks
    3. Netgen - Performs LVS Checks
    4. CVC - Performs Circuit Validity Checks

important Note

Following tools in openlane docker is older version, we need to update these tool set.

  • Icarus Verilog version 12.0 (devel) (s20150603-1107-ga446c34d)
  • Yosys 0.9+4081 (git sha1 b6721aa9, clang 10.0.0-4ubuntu1 -fPIC -Os)
