The Scale4Edge ecosystem VP using VP-VIBES peripherals.

This VP is based in MINRES TGC series cores and uses CoreDSL to generate the concrete ISSof a particular ISA + extensions. The generator approach makes it very flexible and adaptable.Since the CoreDSL description is used to generate RTL as well as verification artifacts itprovides a comprehensive and consistent solution to develop processor cores.

Using gitpod you can run the VP in the cloud. Just visitGitpod.ioand follow the instructions. After the build finished you can run

build/src/tgc-vp -f fw/hello-world/prebuilt/hello.elf

or use ctest:

cd buildctest

You will see on console the prints of the hello world firmware at fw/hello-world/hello.c

• you need to have a C++14 capable compiler, make, python, and cmake installed

• install conan.io (see alsohttp://docs.conan.io/en/latest/installation.html):

  pip3 install --user conan

  It is advised to use conan version 1.36 or newer. In case of an older version please run

  pip3 install --user --upgrade conan

  Installing conan for the first time you need to create a profile:

  conan profile create default --detect

• checkout source from git

  git clone --recursive -b develop https://github.com/Minres/TGC-VP.git

• start an out-of-source build:

  cd TGC-VPmkdir buildcd buildcmake ..make -j tgc-vp

• run the VP with pre-built firmware

  ctest

  or

  src/tgc-vp -f ../fw/hello-world/prebuild/hello.elf

To rebuild the firmware you need to install a RISC-V toolchain likehttps://github.com/riscv/riscv-tools.

TGC-VP supports VS2019/MSVC 16 and has been tested only with this version

You need to have to following installed:

• Visual Studio 2019 (community edition is sufficient) with C/C++ support
• Python 3.6 or newer
• SystemC 2.3.3 and SystemC-CCI 1.0.0. Both should be installed into the same location and theenvironment variable SYSTEMC_HOME should point to it
• Conan (https://conan.io/) version 1.36 or newer. If python is installed this can be installed using pip(see above inQuick start)

Create a project at the location of the git workarea. This can be done

devenv <path to checkout>

The build steps are as described in the VS documentation for CMake based projects.
