  Problem installing PULP-SDK
Posted by: jmmarostegui - 11-27-2019, 12:49 PM - Forum: PULP General questions - Replies (7)

Hello,

I'm trying to install PULP-SDK following the instructions provided in GitHub, but I get an error I can't understand and for which I haven't found any solution.

I'm starting from a clean Ubuntu 16.04 install, and the sequence of steps I follow (first I install the riscv gnu toolchain and then the PULP SDK) is:

1 - sudo -s

2 - apt install git python3-pip python-pip gawk texinfo libgmp-dev libmpfr-dev libmpc-dev swig3.0 libjpeg-dev lsb-core doxygen python-sphinx sox graphicsmagick-libmagick-dev-compat libsdl2-dev libswitch-perl libftdi1-dev cmake scons libsndfile1-dev

3 - pip3 install artifactory twisted prettytable sqlalchemy pyelftools openpyxl xlsxwriter pyyaml numpy configparser pyvcd

4 - sudo pip2 install configparser

5 - cd /opt

6 - mkdir riscv

7 - cd riscv

8 - git clone https://github.com/pulp-platform/pulp-ri...-toolchain

9 - cd pulp-riscv-gnu-toolchain

10 - git submodule update --init --recursive

11 - apt-get install autoconf automake autotools-dev curl libmpc-dev libmpfr-dev libgmp-dev gawk build-essential bison flex texinfo gperf libtool patchutils bc zlib1g-dev

12 - export PATH=$PATH:/opt/riscv/bin

13 - ./configure --prefix=/opt/riscv --with-arch=rv32imc --with-cmodel=medlow --enable-multilib

14 - make

15 - export PULP_RISCV_GCC_TOOLCHAIN=/opt/riscv

16 - export VSIM_PATH=/opt/riscv/pulpissimo/sim

17 - cd ..

18 - git clone https://github.com/pulp-platform/pulp-sdk.git -b master

19 - cd pulp-sdk

20 - source configs/pulpissimo.sh

21 - make all

After this last command I get the following error:

Configuring Pulp project at /opt/riscv/pulp-sdk

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

make: *** [all] Error 1

Following the instructions provided in GitHub I check the versions of both python and pip. What I get is:

root@VBox:/opt/riscv/pulp-sdk# pip --version
pip 19.3.1 from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip (python 2.7)
root@VBox:/opt/riscv/pulp-sdk# python3 --version
Python 3.5.2

Then I execute the commands suggested in GitHub:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
python3 -m pip install artifactory twisted prettytable sqlalchemy pyelftools openpyxl xlsxwriter pyyaml numpy configparser pyvcd

However, when I run again 'make all' I get the same error. Since after looking for a solution I haven't found any clue how to fix it, could you provide me any hint to overcome this problem? Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Manuel

  GDB Debugging with JTAG on Ariane
Posted by: jthoma - 11-26-2019, 09:58 AM - Forum: PULP General questions - Replies (4)

Hi,

I have problems using the JTAG debugging connection with GDB for the Ariane Softcore. The Genesys 2 Board is connected to my PC via JTAG. I have OpenOCD with RISC-V support  installed on my machine and it seems to connect just fine:

Code:
~/Desktop/ariane $ openocd -f fpga/ariane.cfg
Open On-Chip Debugger 0.10.0+dev-00828-gde00906eb (2019-11-25-14:04)
Licensed under GNU GPL v2
For bug reports, read
       http://openocd.org/doc/doxygen/bugs.html
Info : auto-selecting first available session transport "jtag". To override use 'transport select <transport>'.
Info : clock speed 1000 kHz
Info : JTAG tap: riscv.cpu tap/device found: 0x00000001 (mfg: 0x000 (<invalid>), part: 0x0000, ver: 0x0)
Info : datacount=2 progbufsize=8

Ready for Remote Connections
Info : Listening on port 6666 for tcl connections
Info : Listening on port 4444 for telnet connections
Info : accepting 'gdb' connection on tcp/3333

This does look quite similar to the output in the Ariane git with the exception of this line:
Info : JTAG tap: riscv.cpu tap/device found: 0x00000001 (mfg: 0x000 (<invalid>), part: 0x0000, ver: 0x0)

I don't know whether this causes the problem or not gdb seems to connect just fine.

Okay, now to the actual problem. If I connect gdb and load the binary (a simple hello world), the PC points to _start. Unfortunately, _start contains loads of unimp instructions and does not redirect the program flow to the main function. Thus, if I do a continue, nothing happens. Same goes for break main etc. as the main function is apparently never called. See the GDB output below:

Code:
Reading symbols from ./out...

Continuing.

Interestingly, if I disassemble the _start function in a local GDB Session, it looks like this: 
Code:

Am I missing something here? Do I need an extra GDB command to load the _start funtion or does it have to be compiled in a specific way? I compiled the binary with riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc test.c -o out and also tried adding -ffreestanding.

Thank you!

  HEX Files
Posted by: mahalakshmir.ma - 11-25-2019, 07:10 AM - Forum: PULP General questions - Replies (5)

Hi,

In PULPino environment there are some HEX Files getting generated while i tried to run testcase. So my query is where the conversion from C to HEX file is taking place (code & path). 

thanks in advance.

  PULPissimo Synthesis and Clock Distribution
Posted by: AhmedZaky - 11-20-2019, 06:55 AM - Forum: PULP General questions - Replies (1)

Hi all, 

First of all, thanks a lot for your help and support.

I was wondering if there is a synthesis - clean version of PULPissimo that's already released to the public. If not, is there any document / way to understand how the clock the distribution is going ? 

What I understand, correct me if I am wrong, that in the case of: 

1- FPGA, u r using a reference clock of 200 MHz to generate two internal clocks by divisions: A- Soc_clk = 20Mhz , B- periph_clk = 10Mhz.

2- In case of the RTL simulation, you r feeding from the TB a reference clock of ~ 32KHz and somehow, using DCO, FLL generating two clocks soc_clk = periph_clk = 17.5 MHz. 

If I am correct, are this on-chip clock generation modules synthesizable? Or they should be mapped to IPs in the PDK ? 

--------- 

Assuming that I want to drive the whole chip using the external clock, is it save to just remove all the " fll, DCO.. etc" modules and pass the signal through the modules to all the system components ? I mean the PAD_xtal_clk, pass it for the fc_subsystem, l2_memory .. etc and the system can work on that clock ? I already did simulation and it worked, but I am making sue that I didn't miss anything as I didn't test the system exhaustively. 

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I tried to include a new peripheral (PWM) into the PULPino environment, where can I get the library files for that peripheral or it will be auto generated.

  Pulpissimo make error when making hello example
Posted by: bunohdwnl - 11-14-2019, 02:36 AM - Forum: PULP General questions - Replies (3)

Hello! I do the flow according to the Pulpissimo's README.md. But I meet a make error when I execute  the flow at the step "Downloading and running tests ".I change directory to  pulp-rt-examples/hello, and execute make clean all run ,then a "No Such File or Directory" error appears. I cat the Makefile,maybe the PULP_SDK_HOME is undefined. Do I need to set the PULP_SDK_HOME in my .bashrc  manually?

Code:
[jiaopy@localhost Jproject]$ cd pulp-rt-examples/hello/
[jiaopy@localhost hello]$ make clean all run
Makefile:6: /install/rules/pulp_rt.mk: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/install/rules/pulp_rt.mk'.  Stop.
[jiaopy@localhost hello]$ cat Makefile
PULP_APP = test
PULP_APP_FC_SRCS = test.c
PULP_APP_HOST_SRCS = test.c
PULP_CFLAGS = -O3 -g

  Set defines of modules
Posted by: LPLA - 11-12-2019, 04:12 PM - Forum: PULP General questions - Replies (2)

Hello,

throughout the code you can find things like:

Code:
`ifdef QUENTIN_SCM
...
`endif

or

Code:
`ifndef PULP_FPGA_EMUL
...                              
`else
...
`endif

and there are two things about this that i just couldn't figure out.

First: Where are those defines? Let's say i want to use Quentin, where would i put `define QUENTIN_SCM (assuming this is the correct syntax).

Second: Assume i am having three different modules for multiplication mul1, mul2, mul3.
Every module has additional inputs if you want to do floating point multiplication.
This is handled by:
Code:
`ifdef FP_ENABLE
... (additional inputs)
`endif


I tested all three modules with Questasim using a testbench and created a .do file for them.
Now inside my .do file i have the following command:
Code:
set ms [concat mul1 mul2 mul3]
foreach m ${ms} {
  vlog -64 +define+FP_ENABLE ../multis/${m}/rtl/${m}.sv
}


If i now try to use my modules somewhere in PULPissimo i get some errors from my makefile that tell me some ports of the module are missing.
Basically the above command tells the modules mul1, mul2, mul3 that FP_ENABLE is defined and therefore the additional ports are instantiated.
Unfortunately i don't know how to use the same idea when trying to instantiate a mul-module in PULPissimo.
It is important to note that i don't want to change any line of code in the mul-modules!
Does anyone know a way how to tell the modules its defines just like the above command does?

Thank you.
LPLA
