Hi Experts,

I'm wondering, is the original Pulpissimo on git be able to boot Linux kernel? (with RI5CY I guess)
If not, how can I achieve it with minor changes? (like replacing RI5CY with Ariane). I'm expecting not to use certain platform like FPGA. It's like I'm going to boot up Linux in simulation with Pulpissimo (despite of speed)

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on my Master's thesis where I need to implement a software algorithm using 36 bit integers. My first approach was using the int64_t C type to represent my number. While it all worked fine on my local machine the algorithm broke in the Pulpissimo simulator.

After a while of debugging I figured out that the int64_t type does not work for me. To get started I modified `pulp-rt-examples/hello/test.c` to the code printed below, which is also a small example showing the issue that int64_t types always return the same value. I'm not sure whether this is a bug or I need to reconfigure something.

Do you have any idea how to solve this? Maybe I need to activate some compile flag or is there some 64-bit extension that I could easily add to the processor core?

I saw that the compiler does also support C++ so I wanted to give this a try but I couldn't find an example project to see how I can get the C++ compiler running. Simply changing the file extension from *.c to *.cpp did not work unfortunately.

Thank you very much

Compiling OpenOCD (with gcc (Ubuntu 9.3.0-17ubuntu1~20.04) 9.3.0) as described in https://github.com/pulp-platform/pulpiss...l-platform, section "GDB and OpenOCD":

Quote:  In src/flash/mflash.h the line

Quote:  should be changed to

Quote:This is obviously an error, since in mflash.c reserved7 is accessed using
    memset(pSegIdDrvInfo->reserved7, 0x00, 190);

    Current gcc compiler flags this with an out of bound warning. In combination with the "Werror" flag, the compilation will be aborted.

Hi team,
I am trying to run pulp-rt examples on the Zephyr platform, but I didn't find any documentation regarding this.
Is pulpissimo run on Zephyr RTOS?  If pulp supports Zephyr, can you help me to find the documentation/steps? Your help in this regard is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Pls help me in solving this.I want only project which satisfy other condition also(like banglore, pune,c and s).
is there anyother way of solving this?
i m not sue about my solution and way of solving.plz help.

I've been looking at porting Tock OS on to the pulp platform and mostly reading through the documentation. I'm fairly new to this whole thing, so I have few questions. According to the TockOS porting guide, I need to define the following in the linker file

Quote: For most developers, it should
 * be sufficient to define {ROM/PROG/RAM}_{ORIGIN/LENGTH} (6 variables, the start and length for each),
 * MPU_MIN_ALIGN (the minimum alignment granularity supported by the MPU) and PAGE_SIZE (the size of a flash page).
 * If undefined, PAGE_SIZE uses the default value of 512 bytes.

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 in case 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.
  

Hi,
   I notice in a lot of places in the entire pulpisismo code that contains ifndef depending upon the flag SYNTHESIS, I also notice ASIC_SYNTHESIS flag being used inside the Ri5cy.
I also find PULP_TRAINING flag in the code

 Example in soc_peripherals.sv

`ifdef PULP_TRAINING
`ifndef SYNTHESIS

    apb_dummy_registers  #(.APB_ADDR_WIDTH(APB_ADDR_WIDTH)) i_apb_dummy_reg_unit (
        .HCLK       ( clk_i                   ),
        .HRESETn    ( rst_ni                  ),
        .PADDR      ( s_apb_dummy_bus.paddr   ),
        .PWDATA     ( s_apb_dummy_bus.pwdata  ),
        .PWRITE     ( s_apb_dummy_bus.pwrite  ),
        .PSEL       ( s_apb_dummy_bus.psel    ),
        .PENABLE    ( s_apb_dummy_bus.penable ),
        .PRDATA     ( s_apb_dummy_bus.prdata  ),
        .PREADY     ( s_apb_dummy_bus.pready  ),
        .PSLVERR    ( s_apb_dummy_bus.pslverr )
    );

`endif
`endif

should these flags be passed through the synthesis as a macro ?

Hi,

I am very new to JTAG and have worked with pulpissimo by running test cases mostly via the Linux terminal, which has Questasimulation. 

I wanted to ask that how can I either create or locate an existing stimulifile, and further use it for JTAG programming? Also, which software would be good for JTAG programming?

Usually, when I make and run C-based test cases in the terminal, I am checking whether basic functions are working or not (since we are dealing with a constrained system and also my background is not very strong when it comes to architecture design-based projects). So if I run a test.c file using makefile, when using the command 'make clean all run' does this automatically create a stimulifile for this test.c somewhere in the directory? If yes, how can I locate it?
 
If not, how can create one for this test.c?



Thanks!
