Is there a way to simultaneously start all timer units in apb advanced timer in pulpissimo?

Hi,

I would like to know if anyone tried to synthesize the Pulpissimo SoC on a PYNQ-Z1 (Zynq-7000) board. The chip is almost the same that is in the zedboard (XC7Z020-1CLG400C) so I though that it would be relatively easy. If so, I would like to know what parameters or files I have to change or rewrite to achieve the compatibility, or how to proceed.  As you can see, I am a beginner on this project, Do you know where to start?

Thank you.

Hi,
    I want to use the IBEX core with pulpissimo. I was able to run Hello World example with default ri5cy core. I changed the following files by making CORE_TYPE as 1 to get the ibex core configured.

• ./pulpissimo/rtl/pulpissimo/pulpissimo.sv
  
• ./pulpissimo/rtl/pulpissimo/soc_domain.sv
  
• ./pulpissimo/rtl/tb/tb_pulp.sv
  
• ./pulpissimo/pulp_soc/rtl/fc/fc_subsystem.sv
  
• ./pulpissimo/ips/pulp_soc/rtl/pulp_soc/pulp_soc.sv
  
• ./pulpissimo/install/tb_pulp.sv
  

Hi,
   I am currently working with L2 Memories. I notice that even though the size of the stimuli file I have is larger than the total size of L2 private memory (0x1c010000). The compiler does not throw l2 overflowed by ... bytes error. i have not changed the /my-path/pulp-sdk/pkg/sdk/dev/install/rules/pulpissimo/link.ld file. 

This the command the make file of hello example uses to compile my code

Any idea why the pulp_gnu_toolchain did not throw any error. does the pulp_gnu_toolchain should be rebuilt because i am playing by extending the Private memory sizes although the above error was produced with no change in the pulpissimo or pulp-sdk code

Hello,

I am trying to compile GPIO test without pulp specific instructions.
https://github.com/pulp-platform/pulp-rt...put/test.c

I modified the make file as follows:

Could anyone help me clarify whether the memory is single-port or dual-port? I didn't find the information in the documentation. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone 

I am trying to set up an I2C on my NEXYS 4 board without using the rt api from the sdk.
Now I think I have understood the way how the uDMA works an I am also able to transmitt something over the I2C (clock is there and a signal on the SDA is there too), but this are 
not the data I wanted to transfer.

My main problem now is, I am not able to write the address of my TX buffer to the TX_SADDR register. In the manual I can see that the TX_SADDR should be a read/write register but writing to it seams not be possible.
Does someone know what the problem could be or is there maybe an example how to setup peripherals connected to the uDMA without the help of the rt api?

Would really appreciate your help.

Thank you very much and have a nice day.

Hello, We are trying to design a ultra low-power microcontroller for IoT applications in a 0.18um CMOS technology and I am trying to decide to choose the PULPino or PULPismo platform.
PULPino seems like the more matured platform but PULPismo seems to be the replacement for PULPino.
Our core strength is analog so we want a platform which has a well-supported toolchain, etc.
So any advice on this topic will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I ran the cv32e40p (RI5CY) core with FPU (floating point) enabled and tried to check the result for all the floating-point operations. I have faced the following issues incase of division and fused operations.

• Rounding mode output is incorrect for division, rounding mode for the division is not the same as addition, subtraction, and multiplication
  For example, when rounding mode is RTZ (round to zero), the guard, round and sticky flags aren't ignored and the final output is changed by 1 bit.
• Exception status flags output is incorrect for division, exception status flags output for the division is not the same as addition, subtraction, and multiplication, and doesn't follow IEEE754
  For example, the overflow flag is not generated even if the division result generated is infinity (for MAX/MIN case).
• Rounding mode output is incorrect for fused operations, rounding mode for fused operations is not the same as addition, subtraction, and multiplication
  For example, when rounding mode is RTZ (round to zero), the guard, round and sticky flags aren't ignored and the final output is changed by 1 bit.
• Getting output as X in fused operations if any of the operands is 0
  For example, If any of the 3 operands are 0 in FMA, the result generated by the core is X.

we are facing a problem in full duplex communication in riscv pulpissimo  ,i.e. we can not start  reception after transmission using the spansion s25fs256s spi module . Could you please give some ideas regarding that. Or could you please give us a document regarding that
