# Ibex RISC-V Core SoC Example
Please see [examples](https://ibex-core.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples.html "Ibex User Manual") for a description of this example.
## Requirements
### Tools
- RV32 compiler
- srecord
- `fusesoc` and its dependencies
- Xilinx Vivado
### Hardware
- Either a Digilent Arty A7-35 oder A7-100 board
## Build
The easiest way to build and execute this example is to call the following make goals from the root directory.
Use the following for the Arty A7-35
```
make build-arty-35 program-arty
```
and for the Arty A7-100
```
make build-arty-100 program-arty
```
### Software
First the software must be built. Go into `examples/sw/led` and call:
```
make CC=/path/to/RISC-V-compiler
```
The setting of `CC` is only required if `riscv32-unknown-elf-gcc` is not available through the `PATH` environment variable.
The path to the RV32 compiler `/path/to/RISC-V-compiler` depends on the environment.
For example, it can be for example `/opt/riscv/bin/riscv-none-embed-gcc` if the whole path is required or simply the name of the executable if it is available through the `PATH` environment variable.
This should produce a `led.vmem` file which is used in the synthesis to update the SRAM storage.
### Hardware
Run either of the following commands at the top level to build the respective hardware.
Both variants of the Arty A7 are supported and can be selected via the `--parts` parameter.
```
fusesoc --cores-root=. run --target=synth --setup --build lowrisc:ibex:top_artya7 --part xc7a35ticsg324-1L
```
```
fusesoc --cores-root=. run --target=synth --setup --build lowrisc:ibex:top_artya7 --part xc7a100tcsg324-1
```
This will create a directory `build` which contains the output files, including
the bitstream.
## Program
After the board is connected to the computer it can be programmed with:
```
fusesoc --cores-root=. run --target=synth --run lowrisc:ibex:top_artya7
```
LED1/LED3 and LED0/LED2 should alternately be on after the FPGA programming is finished.
