Overview
Riscduino is a 32 bit RISC V based SOC design pin compatible to arudino platform and this soc targetted for efabless Shuttle program. This project uses only open source tool set for simulation,synthesis and backend tools. The SOC flow follow the openlane methodology and SOC environment is compatible with efabless/carvel methodology.

Prerequisites
- Docker (ensure docker daemon is running) -- tested with version 19.03.12, but any recent version should suffice.
Step-1: Docker in ubuntu 20.04 version
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https curl rtificates -agent software-properties-common
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu focal stable"
sudo apt update
apt-cache policy docker-ce
sudo apt install docker-ce
#Add User Name to docker
sudo usermod -aG docker <your user name>
# Reboot the system to enable the docker setup
Step-2: Update the Submodule, To to project area
git submodule init
git submodule update
Step-3: clone Openlane scripts under workarea
git clone https://github.com/dineshannayya/OpenLane.git
Step-4: 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. Set these enviornmental variable in .bashrc file
export CARAVEL_ROOT=<Carvel Installed Path>
export OPENLANE_ROOT=<OpenLane Installed Path>
export IMAGE_NAME=dineshannayya/openlane:rc7
export PDK_ROOT=<PDK Installed PATH>
export PDK_PATH=<PDK Install Path>/sky130A
Step-5: To install the PDK
source ~/.bashrc
cd OpenLane
make pdk
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
make verify-wb_port SIM=RTL DUMP=OFF
make verify-wb_port SIM=RTL DUMP=ON
Tool Sets
Riscduino Soc flow uses Openlane tool sets.

- Performs DRC ChecksNetgen
- Performs LVS ChecksCVC
- 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
