Pulpissimo bitstream generation.

Hello,

I got the following errors during bitstream generation for genesys2 board.

Code:

I have the same issue. Tried both riscv-openocd from riscv repo and from PULP repo.
I also have another question: how can I connect external AXI module to Pulpissimo?

Hi naprpo,

Please excuse the late response but I was away on holidays.

The error you got during the bitstream generation seems to be only related to the final copy command that would copy the generated bitstream file to the top directory. It seems like those files were created at a different location in your case, therefore, the cp command fails which is not an issue regarding functionality. Regarding the plpbridge that connects to the old debug module: I never tested the old debug module but only used the new riscv-debug module with openocd so I cannot really comment on that part.

Could you tell me the patch where you found the generated bitstream and bin file?

The problem you have with the riscv-debug module and openocd is related to a long outstanding issue regarding non-contiguous hartids.

For now, you need to use the patched version of riscv-openocd in the PULP-SDK to workaround the problem. The patched openocd should be installed with newer versions of the PULP-SDK (i successfully tried with commit id 06c5dc6) under pkg/openocd.

Hi meggiman,

Thanks for the replay. I hope you enjoyed your holiday.

The .bin and .bit file are generated in 'pulpissimo/fpga/pulpissimo-genesys2/pulpissimo_genesys2.runs/impl_1' path. It is different path then given in the Makefile.

I am able to successfully lunch the patched openocd and connect with gdb. But still have some issues. I am able to load the binary file. Also able to set the breakpoint. After running the app, it never reachs the breakpoint. Forever continuing...
Here is how it looks, i am trying to run 'hello' example.

if is stop the process with ctrl-c i get the following respose:


Code:

Now i am using the Pulp-sdk (commit id:  3256fe7) and Pulpissimo newest version from the fpga branch.

Hi naprpo,

First of all, there is another detail I forgot to mention in the README (I will revise it and try to document it better for future users):
You need to tell the SDK which frequency PULPissimo is running with so the SDK can configure the right value for the UART's clock divider. Otherwise the baudrate will be wrong.
In order to do so define the following global variables in you source code:

int __rt_fpga_fc_frequency = 40000000;
int __rt_fpga_periph_frequency = 20000000;

If you didn't change anything in the bitstream generation script these two lines should configure the SDK to use the frequencies of 40MHz for the Core and 20MHz for the SoC that are used by default during Synthesis.

However, since you don't see any output at all (even with the wrong frequency breakpoints should work), there is probably another issue with your binary. ( I just successfully tried it with commit id 3256fe7, BTW: I suppose you didn't forget to run make on the SDK after checkout and sourced again configs/pulpissimo.sh and configs/fpgas/pulpissimo/genesys2.sh before recompilation of the SDK and the binary?). Could you send me the source code, the disassembly (run 'make dis>test.S') and the compiled elf binary so I can try it myself?

Hey,

I am stuck also at that error " openocd: src/target/riscv/riscv.c:2530: riscv_set_current_hartid: Assertion `riscv_hart_enabled(target, hartid)' failed. ", I've read the comments but I couldn't locate that patched openocd that comes with the SDK. May you please elaborate more one this ?

Thanks !

Hi AhmedZaky,

Did you check the folder pulp-sdk/scripts?

I found the info there.

Hi meggiman,

Thanks for the help. I had the issues with SDK buid.
It is working now.

Hi AhmedZaky,

I just realized that the patched Openocd is not installed by default if you do not have access to the artifactory server (file server at ETH that contains precompiled binaries). However 
I revised the README in the fpga branch and added some sections on how to install the patched OpenOCD from source. Please follow the instructions at https://github.com/pulp-platform/pulpiss...nd-openocd.

Hi meggi,

Thank you very much on your help with OpenOCD. By the way, do you have any idea how to integrate 3rd party module into PULPissimo via AXI interface? I have tried connect it to AXI interface in the top level of pulp_soc (which is used for cluster) and soc_interconnect but both of them don't work.

Thank you in advance.
