When I tested gcc according to the "test suit" in the readme at https://github.com/pulp-platform/pulp-ri...-toolchain, after running the command "make check-gcc-newlib", it appeared  " /bin/sh: line 17: runtest: command not found",  is this problem serious? What is the reason, how to fix it?

hello，

When I compiled the toolchain according to the steps in https://github.com/pulp-platform/pulp-ri...-toolchain, I encountered the following error:
/tmp/ccIifWI0.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccIifWI0.s:4963: Error: unrecognized opcode `lwu a1,.LANCHOR0 2'

Since I am going to install the cross complier to /home/lee/Downloads/complier, so I run the commands below ：
1./configure --prefix=/home/lee/Downloads/complier --with-arch=rv32g --with-abi=ilp32d
2.make linux


 Is the install path chosen like this? Why is there such an error? How can I resolve these errors?

Hi, 

I am currently trying to use PULPissimo and the hello example runs fine, however when I try to run hwme example I got this error: 

" [/sys/board/chip/soc/fc/warning                   ] Invalid access (offset: 0x1a10c004, size: 0x4, is_write: 0)" 

Also Modelsim gui doesn't open when I use this command for hello example " make clean all run gui=1 " 

Can anyone passed this help in figuring out what's the problem ? 


Thanks in advance.

Hi, 

I am trying to build the "RISC-V GNU Compiler Toolchain" as a step for building the SDK for PULPissimio platform. When I try to execute the following command :

Hello，
I am a student  a complete novice in SOC design. Our tutor wants to implement a RISCV chip design on the extra area of the MPW. If I want to tape out PULPino, what should I verify first?

As far as I know, PULPino is a very mature project, and it has been taped out in different processes, so my current idea is:

1. Perform a Verilog simulation test. The assembly code of the instruction is compiled into a binary file to be read by Verilog's readmemh function, and then all instructions are tested one by one until all instructions pass the test. This part of the test should only involve the operation of the instruction set in the RISCY core.

2. Perform FPGA prototype verification on PULPino SOC. The purpose of this process is to download the SOC's Verilog code to the FPGA and then run the program on the FPGA. It may be necessary to use GDB and OpenOCD for debugging.

Is my idea correct? Does the PULPino project support the above two verifications? Can you give me some advice? And what should be noted in the tool chain, environment, SDK, etc.?

Thanks

Hello,

I have been trying to Synthesize and implement Pulpissimo on Xilinx FPGA using Vivado . There are problems in the syntesized design although elaborated design seems to be Okay.  Have you synthesised Pulpissimo using VIvado and if yes then did you have to do changes to the RTL?

My synthesis basically is completed succesfully, but when I look at the synthesised schematics I can see that for example zynq_clk_i is not connected anywhere, although it should go to ref_clk_i in soc_domain.

Hello, 


I want to benchmark the performance of the 8 core multicore platform PULP. The current coremark example in pulp-rt-examples needs to be modified to be able to run it on PULP such that it uses the 8 cores of the cluster. Can a guideline be provided to modify the Coremark benchmark for the PULP platform. 

Regards,
Athena

Hello,

We have bought couple of Genesys2 FPGA boards. We are going to use the Pulpissimo for that.

We would like to flash the test software to it and also if possible use some debugging software via JTAG.
Do you have any suggestion to use as JTAG-cable or debugging software, that you are going to support? 
Do I need to use Genesys2 PMOD connectors to connect JTAG-cable or do you have any solid solutions for that?

If understood correctly debugging software is going to need OpenOCD support and that is coming Q2/2019 for Pulpissimo. Right?

Hello, 

I tried to run the openMP example given in pulp-rt-examples repository. But the simulation gets stuck at the rt_cluster_call(..); function in the test.c file. 

I have tried running Hello and Coremark examples for the same platform and they work perfectly. 

In order to find out that it gets at stuck at the rt_cluster_call, I put print statements before and after the function call. The modified "test.c" code is attached below. And the output seen is also attached .

Hello, 

I have synthesised a particular IP of the pulp system for  ASIC using a certain compiler. Now I want to re-insert the synthesised netlist into the system and perform a post-synthesis simulation for verification. How do I go about with this?

From what I understand, when a certain simulation for say hello example (given under pulp-rt-examples) is run, all the IPS are being fetched directly from the git-hub repository instead from the locally cloned repository IP folder. Is my understanding correct?

How do I add my own changes to the exisiting IP and still run an example simulation ?


Thanks!
