RTG4 Development Kit Mi-V Sample FPGA Designs

This folder contains Tcl scripts that build Libero SoC v2024.2 design projects for the RTG4 Development Kit. These scripts are executed in Libero SoC to generate the sample designs. All cores boot from memory at 0x8000_0000.

This design only supports the production silicon (PS) die

RTG4_Dev_Kit_MIV_RV32_BaseDesign

Config Description
CFG1 This design uses the MIV_RV32 core configured as follows:
  • RISC-V Extensions: IMC
  • Multiplier: MACC (Pipelined)
  • Interfaces: AHBL Initiator (mirrored), APB3 Initiator
  • Internal IRQs: 1
  • TCM: disabled
  • System Timer: Internal MTIME enabled, Internal MTIME IRQ enabled
  • Debug: Enabled
CFG2 This design uses the MIV_RV32 core configured as follows:
  • RISC-V Extensions: IM
  • Multiplier: Fabric
  • Interfaces: AXI4 Master (mirrored), APB3 Initiator
  • Internal IRQs: 1
  • TCM: disabled
  • System Timer: Internal MTIME enabled, Internal MTIME IRQ enabled
  • Debug: Enabled*
CFG3 This design uses the MIV_RV32 core configured as follows:
  • RISC-V Extensions: I
  • Multiplier: none
  • Interfaces: APB3 Initiator
  • Internal IRQs: 1
  • TCM: enabled
  • System Timer: Internal MTIME enabled, Internal MTIME IRQ enabled
  • Debug: Enabled

Instructions

Running Libero SoC in GUI mode

1. Open Libero SoC
2. Execute the script, Project -> Execute Script
3. Select the directory that the script is located in using the "..."
4. Select the script and select "Open"
5. In the arguments text box, enter the type of configuration you want e.g. "CFG1"
6. Select the "Run" button to execute the script
7. Once complete, a script report will be generated.

Libero executes the script and opens the Mi-V sample project targeted for a production silicon (PS) die. The script adds Timing constraints to the project for Synthesis, Place and Route, and Timing Verification. Additionally, I/O Constraints are added to the project for Place and Route. The project can now be taken through the remainder of the Libero SoC design flow.

Running Libero SoC in GUI mode, with Script Arguments

1. Open Libero SoC
2. Execute the selected script, Project -> Execute Script
3. Select the directory that the script is located in, using the "..."
4. Select the script and select "Open"
5. In the arguments text box, enter "CFG1 SYNTHESIZE PS"
6. Select the "Run" button to execute the script
7. Once complete, a script report will be generated.

In this example, the arguments "CFG1 SYNTHESIZE PS" are entered to take the production silicon (PS) die project through to Synthesis.

Libero executes the script and opens the Mi-V sample project targeted for a production silicon (PS) die. The script adds Timing constraints to the project for Synthesis, Place and Route, and Timing Verification. Additionally, I/O Constraints are added to the project for Place and Route. The project can now be taken through the remainder of the Libero SoC design flow.

Script Arguments

In the examples above the arguments "CFG1" and "CFG1 SYNTHESIZE PS" were entered. The complete set of script arguments are documented here.

First argument:

Argument Description
CFG1..CFGn Generate a sample design for the selected configuration

Second argument:

Argument Description
SYNTHESIZE Run synthesis on the design
PLACE_AND_ROUTE Run place and route on the design
GENERATE_BITSTREAM Generate the bitstream for the design
EXPORT_PROGRAMMING_FILE Export the programming file (.job)

Third argument:

Argument Description
PS Build a base design targeted for 'PS' die

Design Features

The Libero designs include the following features:

  • A soft RISC-V processor operating at 40 MHz (The fpga_design_config.h file in the SoftConsole project will require the SYS_CLK_FREQ parameter to be set to #define SYS_CLK_FREQ 40000000UL)
  • A RISC-V debug block allowing on-target debug using SoftConsole
  • An Extended Subsystem with integrated peripherals
  • Target SRAM/TCM memory (32kB)
  • User peripherals: MIV_ESS, 2 Timers, UART, 2 GPIO Inputs and 4 GPIO Outputs (GPIOs use fixed configs for simplicity and better resource utilization)

The peripherals in this design are located at the following addresses.
