ReonV/designs/leon3-digilent-xc7z020

This leon3 design is tailored to the Digilent Zedboard board

www.zedboard.org

Overview
--------

This design implements a typical LEON3 system on a Xilinx Zynq device.
The DDR3 memory attached to the Cortex-A9 processor system (PS) is
uased as LEON3 memory, and accessed through a custom AHB/AXI bridge
(ahb2axi.vhd).


Simulation
----------

Simulation should work with any supported VHDL simultor.
To build and load the design with the modelsim simulator, do:

  make install-secureip_ver
  make sim
  make sim-launch

The PS and external memory is be emulated by a simple model
(leon3_zedboard_stub_sim.vhd) that provides clocks, reset and
 1 Mbyte or memory. No other PS functionality is emulated.

The standard testbench will only work when the AHBROM module
is enabled in xconfig (default on) as it will provide the boot
strap code and jump to RAM.

Synthesis
---------

Synthesis will ONLY work with Vivado 2013.4.  To synthesize the design, do:

  make vivado

or 

  make vivado-launch

  (interactive run).

To program the board, do:

  make vivado-zedboard


Design specifics
----------------

* The top 256 Mnyte of the DDR3 (0x10000000 - 0x20000000) is
  mapped into AHB address space at 0x40000000 - 0x50000000 using
  an AHB/AXI bridge and the S_AXI_GP0 interface on the PS.

* System reset is mapped on the south button (button[0]).

* DSU break is mapped to switch[0]

* The LEON3 system is clocked at 83.3333 MHz, using FCLK_CLK0
  from the PS. Other frequencies can be used by re-configuring the
  PS in Vivado and re-running synthesis.

* LED 0 indicates processor in debug mode

* LED 1 indicates processor in error mode, execution halted

* LED 2 indicates AHB HREADY signal.

* LED 3 UART1 TX

* LED 4 GPIO 11

* LED 5 GPIO 12
5
* LED 6 GPIO 13

* LED 7 GPIO 14


Board programming
-----------------

Always program the Zedboard via the make target 'program-zedboard'
This requires the installation of Xilinx EDK or SDK.

Info:  Enabling level shifters and clearing fabric port resets


Executing programs with grmon
-----------------------------

* The JTAG DSU interface is enabled and accesible via the JTAG port.
  Start grmon with -xilusb to connect.

* Start grmon with the -u swith to see UART output. The UART connected
  to the PS (USB UART) cannot be used.

* Do not use the CPU RESET button to reset the LEON3 system, as this
  will require to initialiaze the PS using xmd again. Use the south
  button as reset if neessary.

* Output from GRMON is:

jiri@antec:~$ grmon -xilusb -u

Problems
--------

* The grmon verify command does not work correctly due to some problems
  with the JTAG debug interface on Zynq. The load command works correctly
  abd programs can be loaded and executed as normal.
