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

I got this error when command : make build

vopt +acc -o vopt_tb tb_pulp -work work
Error: cannot find "/root/intelFPGA/20.1/modelsim_ase/bin/../linux/vopt"
make[1]: *** [Makefile:69: opt] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/pulpissimo/sim'
make: *** [Makefile:121: build] Error 2

is there anyone have same issue? i think the modelsim has vopt folder on ~/modelsim_ase/bin/vopt

Hi, 

I have a Pulpissimo chip we sent to a foundry to manufacture. It was synthesized based on pulpissimo releases v7.0.0. We have managed to run a couple of tests on 20MHz.
The problem is when trying to boot from SPI by forcing '00' on bootsel, the spi pads does not respond. We have tried keeping the jtag connector on or disconnecting it from the board. 

Also, on Questasim, when trying to boot from a mode different than the specified from the RTL, e.g., STANDALONE and SPI_FLASH on tb_pulp.sv and forcing '00' on bootsel in the simulation, the transcript posts Branch decision X, when trying to load the 2nd page. The flash content is erased because I did not call the simulation with the arguments to load the program on the flash, but still it should get the error after loading the program and trying to run it, right?

I appreciate if there are any suggestions on how we can make the boot work.

Thanks in advance, Ivan.

I am using the machine and user mode on the pulp (CV32E40P). As far as I understand I need to set UTVEC and MTVEC to the corresponding locations of interrupt vector table. I also registered a handler for ex timer (machine mode handler + user mode handler individiually) and enabled the timer. Then I can enable the interrupts in MSTATUS or USTATUS. 

My observation is: 
* when beeing in user mode => interrupts are pushed to UTVEC and handled in user mode
* when beeing in machine mode => interrupts are pushed to MTVEC and handled in machine mode

However I was expecting some kind of configuration where all interrupts are preferably handled by machine mode (always) => where and how can I configure this? (I expected some implementation of medeleg and mideleg, but this doesnt seem to exist?)

any hints are welcome. thank you in advance.


***update***

if I leave the user interrupt in USTATUS disabled, then in both modes the handler of machine mode will be triggered. however as the user can enable the user interrupt in USTATUS, I would still expect the machine mode handler to be triggered with higher priority - thus should be triggered first => but that is not happening.

***hints***

Quote:An interrupt i will trap to M-mode (causing the privilege mode to change to M-mode) if all of the following are true: (a) either the current privilege mode is M and the MIE bit in the mstatus register is set, or the current privilege mode has less privilege than M-mode; (b) bit i is set in both mip and mie; and © if register mideleg exists, bit i is not set in mideleg.

Hi, Is it possible to compile and run CNNs on FPGA (pulp)? If so, could you direct me to a guide or tutorial on how to achieve this? This information is crucial for my work.

Hi, I am trying to deploy a custom model on the PULP platform. So far, I have successfully quantized the custom model and generated the ".onnx" file through the NEMO. However, while generating the network through the "network_generate.py" file under the DORY, I get an error: "out_layer0.txt not found". How can I get the required ".txt" files such as "input.txt",  "out_layer0.txt", "out_layer1.txt" and so on? Also, I would like to know if the ".json" file containing information about the model parameters can be generated automatically. Or do I have to fill it in manually? I would be very grateful for your reply!

I have built the docker and cloned the snitch_cluster repo in /repo.
And then in the target/snitch_cluster, I use the command make bin/snitch_cluster.vlt

For which I get:
work-vlt/Vtestharness.h:11:10: fatal error: verilated_heavy.h: No such file or directory


What am I doing wrong here?


Commands I have used:
   

1. To build docker:
   
   Code:

   sudo docker build -t ghcr.io/pulp-platform/snitch_cluster:main -f util/container/Dockerfile .
   2.  In the snitch_cluster root: docker run -it -v $REPO_TOP:/repo -w /repo ghcr.io/pulp-platform/snitch_cluster:main
   3.  In /repo of docker: git clone https://github.com/pulp-platform/snitch_cluster.git --recurse-submodules
   4.  In /repo/snitch_cluster/target/snitch_cluster: make bin/snitch_cluster.vlt
   
   
   

When trying to run the setup for RTL simulation of the HERO Project's accelerator through synthesis, two modules are not synthesizable, namely axi_sim_mem and apb_stdout. Are there preexisting versions of these two modules that will pass synthesis, or would I just have to try and make them synthesizable while trying to maintain the default functionality as much as possible? TIA
