Super simple microcodedd RISCV32I cpu.

• 3(LUI/AUIPC/JAL), 4(ALU/BRANCH/JALR), 6(STORE/LOAD) clocks cycles per instrution.
• No fence or CSR instructions (emulated with system rom)
• No MMU.
• Uses APB bus.
• Runs Linux
• Uses Verilator or Icarus

To try out yourself

• Download and compile the latest Verilator

git submodule update --init --recursive
make CROSS_COMPILE=riscv32-unknown-elf- run_tests
make CROSS_COMPILE=riscv32-unknown-elf- testkern

To run on the TerasIC DE0-CV Board

git submodule update --init --recursive
make CROSS_COMPILE=riscv32-unknown-elf- flash
screen /dev/ttyUSBX 460800

TODOS

• Get linux running on FPGA

Verilator has a few bugs in older verisons so you can't run make VFLAGS='--assert'

Older version of binutils:

objcopy doesnt work when using --verilog-data-width=4 --reverse-bytes=4 when converting from elf to verilog mem files.

To get around this we first copy to raw binary then use the folowing to convert to verilog memfile. objcopy -Ibinary -O verilog --verilog-data-width=4 --reverse-bytes=4 test.bin test.mem
