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

Due to number of pin limitation in carvel shuttle, YiFive SOC integrate 8bit SDRAM controller. This is a silicon proven IP. IP Link: https://opencores.org/projects/sdr_ctrl

Prerequisites

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

Environment setting

  • Note: PDK alreay installed inside the docker, no need to define the PDK_ROOT, This will be point to /opt/pdk path inside the docker if user define the PDK_ROOT path, then flow will use the user defined PDK PATH
    export CARAVEL_ROOT=<Carvel Installed Path>
    export OPENLANE_ROOT=<OpenLane Installed Path>
    export IMAGE_NAME=dineshannayya/openlane:rc7

Tests preparation

The simulation package includes the following tests:

  • risc_boot - Simple User Risc core boot
  • wb_port - User Wishbone validation
  • user_risc_boot - Standalone User Risc core boot

Running Simulation

Examples:

    make verify-wb_port  
    make verify-risc_boot
    make verify-user_uart
    make verify-user_spi
    make verify-user_i2cm
    make verify-user_risc_boot

  5. Routing
    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)

We have modified these openlane changes in our git repo, you can use from these path git clone https://github.com/dineshannayya/openlane.git docker pull dineshannayya/openlane:rc7
