12 LiteX is an alternative to Migen/MiSoC maintained and used by Enjoy-Digital
13 to build our cores, integrate them in complete SoC and load/flash them to
14 the hardware and experiment new features.
16 The structure of LiteX is kept close to Migen/MiSoC to ease collaboration
17 between projects and efforts are made to keep cores developed with LiteX
18 compatible with Migen/MiSoC.
22 LiteX is Copyright (c) 2012-2015 Enjoy-Digital under BSD Lisense.
23 Since it is based on Migen/MiSoC, please also refer to LICENSE file in gen/soc
24 directory or git history to get correct copyrights.
29 Provides specific or experimentatl modules to generate HDL that are not integrated
33 Provides tools to build FPGA bitstreams (interface to vendor toolchains) and to
34 simulate HDL code or full SoCs.
37 Provides definitions/modules to build cores (bus, bank, flow), cores and tools
38 to build a SoC from such cores.
41 Provides platforms and targets for the supported boards.
45 0. If cloned from Git without the --recursive option, get the submodules:
46 git submodule update --init
48 1. Install Python 3.3+, Migen and FPGA vendor's development tools and JTAG tools.
49 Get Migen from: https://github.com/m-labs/migen
51 2. Compile and install binutils. Take the latest version from GNU.
52 mkdir build && cd build
53 ../configure --target=lm32-elf
57 3. (Optional, only if you want to use a lm32 CPU in you SoC)
58 Compile and install GCC. Take gcc-core and gcc-g++ from GNU
59 (version 4.5 or >=4.9).
61 mkdir build && cd build
62 ../configure --target=lm32-elf --enable-languages="c,c++" --disable-libgcc \
67 4. Build the target of your board...:
68 Go to boards/targets and execute the target you want to build
70 5. ... and/or install Verilator and test LiteX on your computer:
71 Download and install Verilator: http://www.veripool.org/
75 6. Run a terminal program on the board's serial port at 115200 8-N-1.
76 You should get the BIOS prompt.
