Overview

Riscduino is a Quad 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.

SOC Pin Mapping

Carvel SOC provides 38 GPIO pins for user functionality. Riscduino SOC GPIO Pin Mapping as follows vs ATMEGA328 and Arudino

RISC V Core

Riscduino SOC Integrated Quad 32 Bits RISC V core. Initial version of Single core RISC-V core is picked from Syntacore SCR1 (https://github.com/syntacore/scr1)

RISC V core customization for Riscduino SOC

Following Design changes are done on the basic version of syntacore RISC core

   * Some of the sv syntex are changed to standard verilog format to make compatibile with opensource tool iverilog & yosys
   * local Instruction Memory is increased from 4 to 8 location

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/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenLane.git

Step-4: add Environment setting

    export CARAVEL_ROOT=<Carvel Installed Path>
    export OPENLANE_ROOT=<OpenLane Installed Path>
    export OPENLANE_IMAGE_NAME=efabless/openlane:latest
    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
