ReonV/designs/leon3-digilent-nexys-video

This LEON design is tailored to the Digilent Nexys Video board
---------------------------------------------------------

Simulation and synthesis
------------------------

The design currently supports synthesis with Xilinx Vivado (tested
with Vivado 2017.1).

The XILINX_VIVADO variable must be exported for the mig_7series target
to work correctly: export XILINX_VIVADO

If enabled by the user, the design uses the Xilinx MIG memory
interface with an AHB-2.0 interface (experimental).  The MIG source
code cannot be distributed due to the prohibitive Xilinx license, so
the MIG must be re-generated with coregen before simulation and
synthesis can be done.

Xilinx MIG interface will automatically be generated when Vivado is
launched.

To simulate using XSIM and run systest.c on the Leon design using the
memory controller from Xilinx use the make targets:

  make soft
  make vivado-launch

To simulate using Modelsim/Aldec and run systest.c on the Leon design using 
the memory controller from Xilinx use the make targets:

  make map_xilinx_7series_lib
  make sim
  make mig_7series (only required if Xilinx MIG is enabled via xconfig)
  make soft
  make sim-launch

To simulate using Aldec Riviera use the following make targets:

  make map_xilinx_7series_lib
  make riviera
  make mig_series7 (only required if Xilinx MIG is enabled via xconfig)
  make soft
  make riviera-launch

To synthesize the design, do

  make vivado (or make vivado-launch for the GUI flow)

Finally, to program the FPGA:
  
  make vivado-prog-fpga


Design specifics
----------------
* The default configuration sets the system frequency to 70 MHz.

* The AHB clock is generated by the MMCM module in the MIG
  controller, and can be controlled via Coregen. When the 
  MIG DDR2 controller isn't present the AHB clock is generated
  from CLKGEN, and can be controlled via xconfig

* In order to connect through the USB JTAG-interface run "grmon -digilent".

* System reset is mapped to the CPU RESET button

* LED 0/1 indicate USB-UART RX/TX activity. (Connected to Debug UART)

* LED 2 DSU Debug Mode

* LED 3 indicate processor in error mode

* LED 4 indicate the end of the calibration phase for the memory controller

* The application UART1 is unconnected. To enable it, uncomment the in/out
  pads for the apbuart and comment out the ahbuart pads.

* The JTAG DSU interface is enabled and accessible via the USB/JTAG port
  and USB/UART.
  Start grmon with -digilent to connect with USB/JTAG.

* The on-board SPI-Flash memory is interfaced through the Gaisler SPI
  memory controller, and it is mapped at address 0x0.  By default, the
  simulation assumes that the boot-code is read from the SPI-Flash.
  To enable it issue "make xconfig" and set the SPI Memory controller
  tab. The following configuration has been tested on hardware:

- Enable SD card support:              No
- Read instruction:                    0B
- Dummy byte:                          No
- Dual output:                         No
- Address offset:                      0
- Clock divisor for device clock:      2
- Clock divisor for alt. device clock: 2

* Ethernet is only supported in 10/100Mbit mode.
