Hello, when trying to ascertain the changes made to the pulp instructions for their core-v re-encoding (core-v.rst is the most detailed filed I've found) I found it was quite difficult to find what the original instructions actually were!
So far I've been basing my work on [1] and [2] and the file mentioned above. I've noticed the "pulp manuals" are mentioned at the beginning of [1], but the only thing that comes close to it is this datasheet, which appears to be in a somehow abandoned repository (still mentions the pulp riscv gnu toolchain in its readme), and only mentions some vector extension instructions.
For reference, I am looking for for information similar to the one in the core-v.rst file or the cv32e40p user's manual, and the information that can be extracted from [2].
Thank you!

how can i occur the fmadd instruction with c code?

in regression examples
      for (t=0; t<T; t++) {
        for (i=2; i<N-1; i++) {
          for (j=2; j<N-1; j++) {
            b[i][j]= 0.2f*(a[i][j]+a[i][j-1]+a[i][1+j]+a[1+i][j]+a[i-1][j]);
            printf("caculate finished # i=%d j=%d \n",i,j);
          }
        }
      }
This example occurs fadd instrctions. 
then, how can i occur fmadd instrctions? is there any special condition for it?

I'm doing some research to better understand how everything comes together when using pulpissimo.

I'm curious about the compiler and custom opcodes.

How and where does the compiler know how to handle these opcodes when compiling a program? Is it "Inline Assembly"?

I've found all the opcodes for the pulp0, pulp1..gap9...etc. Now I'm after looking for either "Machine Description Files", "target specific header files" or "Compiler Backend Code".

I'd like to add a custom opcode and have the compiler utilise that opcode in the future.

(I'm a complete compiler newbie.)

Thanks in advanced.

Hello! I'm a student who is learning the riscv arch and the pulpino core, and I wonder how the team of pulpino verify the RV32IM instruction set and the custome instruction set, are your team use the official riscv-tests, or use riscv emulators like qemu or spike as ref, or build your own test sets.

Thank you very much!

I'm looking for a block diagram of a stock pulpissimo. 

Showing the blocks from the packages list with ports, wires..etc. is this something seen at the vivido synthesis stage? 

Thanks in advance.

I am encountering an issue while using an AXI crossbar in my project, which has 2 slave ports and 1 master port. In the project, I have two DMAs accessing a single memory for read operations. I am using the PULP AXI_XBAR, and although it simulates, I am experiencing an error where the crossbar directs all request response data to one DMA. It correctly decodes read addresses from both DMAs but sends the response data to only one DMA. Can anyone guide me on this issue? Here is the crossbar configuration:
// AXI Configuration
localparam axi_pkg::xbar_cfg_t XbarCfg = '{
    NoSlvPorts: 2,
    NoMstPorts: 1,
    MaxMstTrans: 20,
    MaxSlvTrans: 10,
    FallThrough: 1'b0,
    LatencyMode: axi_pkg::CUT_ALL_AX,
    PipelineStages: 2,
    AxiIdWidthSlvPorts: 2,
    AxiIdUsedSlvPorts: 2,
    UniqueIds: 1'b0,
    AxiAddrWidth: AddrWidth,
    AxiDataWidth: DataWidth,
    NoAddrRules: 1
};

Hello, pulp community

i have some issue on build pulp, (i just succeed pulpissimo, then i'm trying to build pulp)

https://github.com/pulp-platform/pulp

i trying to build pulp with above link. But when i command "make build"

it makes error 

Makefile:30: warning: overriding recipe for target '/root/pulp/sim/tcl_files/config/vsim_ips.tcl'
Makefile:30: warning: ignoring old recipe for target '/root/pulp/sim/tcl_files/config/vsim_ips.tcl'

in some communities, they said commented "rm modelsim.ini"
so i make that code commented

then it has error

how can i fix it? the error vlog-12110, i think its problem of questasim.

How about second one? why they find design unit tb_pulp?

Hello everyone

i just have started pulpissimo simulation examples "hello"

but when i simulate it, there's some error at last with illeagal instructions.

how can i fix it? is there any more ips that i didn't know?(because it doesn't acknowledge instruction)

i check the dump file with make dis
then i found that nop operation is illegal, how can i fix it?

helllo,

i just tried pulp platform and i've done simulation with pulp-sdk and pulp
By the way, i want to develop pulp cores. Is there any RTL generator? i've seen rocket chip with chisel language. 
Is there any same things like chisel in pulp-platform?

Then, if i want to modify some modules at pulp-platform, there's only way to do is modify system verilog code? 

Thanks for reading.

I currently have the design set up to run the included polybench tests, but I would like to have the ELF files as well for each respective test if possible. Are they included anywhere in the repo? TIA
