Directories

Name Contents
core RISC-V core (http://github.com/ultraembedded/riscv)
fpga/arty Digilent Artix-7 Arty FPGA Dev Board project
soc Verilog for peripherals, interconnect, etc
tb System-C testbench for the project

Features

The top (riscv_soc in riscv_soc.v) contains;

  • RISC-V core (RV32IM instructions supported).
  • 16KB (8KB x 2-way) instruction cache.
  • Timer, UART, SPI and interrupt controller peripherals.
  • AXI4-Lite slave port for external bus master/debug access to peripherals / main memory.
  • AXI4 master port for access to main memory, e.g. SDRAM (external to the design).

Interfaces

Name Description
clk_i Clock input
rst_i Async reset, active-high. Reset SoC (excluding CPU core).
rst_cpu_i Async reset, active-high. Reset CPU core.
reset_vector_i Initial boot address.
inport_* AXI4-Lite slave interface for access to SoC / memory.
mem_* AXI4 master interface to main memory.

FPGA

This project is ready to run on the 'Digilent Artix-7 Arty' FPGA dev board;

A pre-cooked bitstream for this board is located in 'fpga/arty/top.bit'.

The test project for FPGA uses the UART to AXI dbg bridge to allow code to be loaded into DDR prior to de-asserting the CPU's reset.

The 'rv32imsu' core (as used in the provided bitstream) is capable of booting Linux;

cd fpga/arty

# Load bitstream onto target
vivado -mode tcl -source program.tcl

# Load test app into DDR and release reset (change ttyUSB2 as appropriate)
./run.py -d /dev/ttyUSB2 -f ../../images/linux_riscv_soc.elf
