Requirements

Environment setting

project need following environmental variable

export CARAVEL_ROOT= export OPENLANE_ROOT= export PDK_ROOT= export IMAGE_NAME=efabless/openlane:rc7

Project Tools

Currently supported simulators:

• Icarus Verilog version 12.0 (devel) (s20150603-1107-ga446c34d)
• Yosys 0.9+4081 (git sha1 b6721aa9, clang 10.0.0-4ubuntu1 -fPIC -Os)
• Rest of the tool are using openlane rc7 environment

Please note that RTL simulator executables should be in your $PATH variable.

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 Simuation

    make verify-risc_hello

Examples:

    make verify-wb_port  
    make verify-risc_hello
