His help was fundamental to overcome the multiple obstacles that I faced during this work. I also want to acknowledge Professor Horacio´ Neto for providing a simple Convolutional Neural Net- work application, used as a basis for the application developed for the RV32-Versat architecture. A special acknowledgement goes to my friends, for their continuous support, and Valter,´ that is developing a multi-layer architecture for RV32-Versat. When everything seemed to be doomed he always had a miraculous solution. Finally, I want to express my sincere gratitude to my family for giving me all the support and encour- agement that I needed throughout my years of study and through the process of researching and writing this thesis. They are also part of this work. Thank you. v vi Resumo Esta tese apresenta um novo ambiente de simulac¸ao˜ para a arquitectura RV32-Versat baseado na ferramenta de simulac¸ao˜ Verilator.

  • Performed the Most Often. in FPGA Design Flow, Functional and Gate
    performed the most often. In FPGA design flow, functional and gate-level timing simulation is typically performed when designers suspect that there might be a mismatch between RTL and functional or gate-level timing simulation results, which can lead to an incorrect design. The mismatch can be caused for several reasons discussed in more detail in Tip #59. Note that the nomenclature of simulation types is not consistent. The same name, for instance “gate-level simulation”, can have slightly different meaning in simulation flows of different FPGA vendors. The situation is even more confusing in ASIC simulation flows, which have many more different simulation types, such as transistor-level, and dynamic simulation. The following figure shows simulation types designers can perform during Xilinx FPGA synthesis and physical implementation process. Figure 1: Simulation types Xilinx FPGA designers can perform simulation after each level of design transformation from the original RTL to the bitstream. The following example is a 12-bit OR gate implemented in Verilog. module sim_types(input [11:0] user_in, output user_out); assign user_out = |user_in; endmodule XST post-synthesis simulation model is implemented using LUT6 and LUT2 primitives, which are parts of Xilinx UNISIMS RTL simulation library. wire out, out1_14; LUT6 #( .INIT ( 64'hFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFE )) out1 ( .I0(user_in[3]), .I1(user_in[2]), .I2(user_in[5]), .I3(user_in[4]), .I4(user_in[7]), .I5(user_in[6]), .O(out)); LUT6 #( .INIT ( 64'hFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFE )) out2 ( .I0(user_in[9]), .I1(user_in[8]), .I2(user_in[11]), .I3(user_in[10]), .I4(user_in[1]), .I5(user_in[0]), .O(out1_14)); LUT2 #( .INIT ( 4'hE )) out3 ( .I0(out), .I1(out1_14), .O(user_out) ); Post-synthesis simulation model can be generated using the following command: $ netgen -w -ofmt verilog -sim sim.ngc post_synthesis.v Post-translate simulation model is implemented using X_LUT6 and X_LUT2 primitives, which are parts of Xilinx SIMPRIMS simulation library.

    Introduction to Altera IP Cores 2014.08.18 UG-01056 Subscribe Send Feedback ® Altera and strategic IP partners offer a broad portfolio of off-the-shelf, configurable IP cores optimized for Altera devices. The Altera Complete Design Suite (ACDS) installation includes the Altera IP library. The OpenCore and OpenCore Plus IP evaluation features enable fast acquisition, evaluation, and hardware testing of Altera IP cores. You can integrate optimized and verified IP cores into your design to shorten design cycles and maximize performance. The Quartus® II software also supports IP cores from other sources. Use the IP Catalog to efficiently parameterize and generate a custom IP variation for instantiation in your design. The Altera IP library includes the following IP core types: • Basic functions • DSP functions • Interface protocols • Memory interfaces and controllers • Processors and peripherals ™ Note: The IP Catalog (Tools > IP Catalog) and parameter editor replace the MegaWizard Plug-In Manager for IP selection and parameterization, beginning in Quartus II software version 14.0. Use the IP Catalog and parameter editor to locate and paramaterize Altera and other supported IP cores. Related Information • IP User Guide Documentation • Altera IP Release Notes Installing and Licensing IP Cores The Altera IP Library provides many useful IP core functions for production use without purchasing an additional license. You can evaluate any Altera IP core in simulation and compilation in the Quartus II ® software using the OpenCore evaluation feature. Some Altera IP cores, such as MegaCore functions, require that you purchase a separate license for production use. You can use the OpenCore Plus feature to evaluate IP that requires purchase of an additional license until you are satisfied with the functionality and performance.
