   1 [> MiSoC system-on-chip
   2 ------------------------------
   3
   4 A high performance system-on-chip design based on Migen.
   5
   6 MiSoC supports the Mixxeo and the Milkymist One.
   7 Obtain your development system at http://milkymist.org

   9 [> Instructions (software)
  10 --------------------------
  11 1. Compile and install binutils. Take the latest version from GNU.
  12   mkdir build && cd build
  13   ../configure --target=lm32-elf
  14   make
  15   make install
  16
  17 2. Compile and install GCC 4.5. Take gcc-core and gcc-g++ from GNU.
  18   rm -rf libstdc++-v3
  19   mkdir build && cd build
  20   ../configure --target=lm32-elf --enable-languages="c,c++" --disable-libgcc --disable-libssp
  21   make
  22   make install
  23
  24 3. Obtain compiler-rt and set the CRTDIR environment variable to the root of
  25    its source tree.
  26   svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/compiler-rt/trunk compiler-rt
  27   export CRTDIR=/path_to/compiler-rt
  28
  29 4. Build and flash the BIOS (part of this source distribution).
  30   cd software/bios
  31   make
  32   make flash
  33
  34 The second command requires m1nor-ng, FJMEM and UrJTAG.
  35 These tools can be found at:
  36   https://github.com/m-labs/fjmem-m1
  37   http://urjtag.org
  38
  39 [> Instructions (gateware)
  40 --------------------------
  41 First, download and install Migen from:
  42   https://github.com/m-labs/migen
  43
  44 Once this is done, build the bitstream with:
  45   ./make.py [-p <platform>] -l
  46 This will generate the build/soc-<platform>.bit programming file
  47 and load it with UrJTAG.
  48
  49 A new BIOS needs to be built and flashed for MiSoC.
  50 There is no compatibility with Milkymist SoC.
  51
  52 Enjoy!
