Dependencies

• Verilator (3.926 or later) must be installed on the system
• If addding/reoving instructions, espresso must be installed (used by tools/coredecode)

Quickstart guide

1. Clone the repository
2. Setup RV_ROOT to point to the path in your local filesystem
3. Determine your configuration {optional}
4. Run make with tools/Makefile

Configurations

SweRV can be configured by running the $RV_ROOT/configs/swerv.config script:

% $RV_ROOT/configs/swerv.config -h for detailed help options

For example to build with a DCCM of size 64 :

% $RV_ROOT/configs/swerv.config -dccm_size=64

This will update the default snapshot in $RV_ROOT/configs/snapshots/default/ with parameters for a 64K DCCM.

Add -snapshot=dccm64, for example, if you wish to name your build snapshot dccm64 and refer to it during the build.

This script derives the following consistent set of include files :

$RV_ROOT/configs/snapshots/default
├── common_defines.vh                       # `defines for testbench or design
├── defines.h                               # #defines for C/assembly headers
├── pd_defines.vh                           # `defines for physical design
├── perl_configs.pl                         # Perl %configs hash for scripting
├── pic_ctrl_verilator_unroll.sv            # Unrolled verilog based on PIC size
├── pic_map_auto.h                          # PIC memory map based on configure size
└── whisper.json                            # JSON file for swerv-iss

Building a model

1. Set the RV_ROOT environment variable to the root of the SweRV directory structure

   RV_ROOT = /path/to/swerv
export RV_ROOT

2. Create your configuration

   (Skip if default is sufficient)
   (Name your snapshot to distinguish it from the default. Without an explicit name, it will update/override the default snapshot)
   $RV_ROOT/configs/swerv.config [configuration options..] -snapshot=mybuild

   Snapshots are placed in $RV_ROOT/configs/snapshots/<snapshot name>/ directory

3. Build with verilator:

   make -f $RV_ROOT/tools/Makefile verilator [snapshot=name]

This will create and populate the verilator obj_dir/ in the current work dir.

Other targets supported:

vcs  (Synopsys)  
irun (Cadence)
