Ariane RISC-V CPU

For detailed documentation refer to the online documentation (Login: zarubaf Password: zaruba).

Getting Started

Go and get the RISC-V tools.

Checkout the repository and initialize all submodules

git checkout git@iis-git.ee.ethz.ch:floce/ariane.git
git submodule update --init --recursive

Build Ariane by using the Makefile:

make build

Start the simulation using Modelsim:

make sim

To specify the test to run use (e.g.: you want to run rv64ui-p-sraw inside the riscv-tests isa folder:

make sim riscv-test=rv64ui-p-sraw

If you call simc instead of sim it will run without the GUI.

Or start any of the unit tests by:

make dcache_arbiter

Randomized Constrained Testing with Torture

Ariane's core testbench is fully compatible with the randomized constrained testing framework called Torture. To start testing Ariane all you need is to step into the riscv-torture/ folder and issue:

make rgentest

Which will produce a single randomized program, runs it on Spike (see Getting Started) and on the RTL simulator (QuestaSim) by calling ariane-run-torture.

Torture's overnight tests work the same way, just call

make rnight

C (a.k.a. Verilator) tests are currently not supported.
