4 This repository contains the RTL created by SiFive for its Freedom E300 and U500
5 platforms. The Freedom E310 Arty FPGA Dev Kit implements the Freedom E300
6 Platform and is designed to be mapped onto an [Arty FPGA Evaluation
7 Kit](https://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/arty.html). The Freedom
8 U500 VC707 FPGA Dev Kit implements the Freedom U500 Platform and is designed to
9 be mapped onto a [VC707 FPGA Evaluation
10 Kit](https://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/ek-v7-vc707-g.html).
12 Please read the section corresponding to the kit you are interested in for
13 instructions on how to use this repo.
16 Freedom E310 Arty FPGA Dev Kit
17 ------------------------------
19 The Freedom E310 Arty FPGA Dev Kit implements a Freedom E310 chip.
23 The Makefile corresponding to the Freedom E310 Arty FPGA Dev Kit is
24 `Makefile.e300artydevkit` and it consists of two main targets:
26 - `verilog`: to compile the Chisel source files and generate the Verilog files.
27 - `mcs`: to create a Configuration Memory File (.mcs) that can be programmed
28 onto an Arty FPGA board.
30 To execute these targets, you can run the following commands:
33 $ make -f Makefile.e300artydevkit verilog
34 $ make -f Makefile.e300artydevkit mcs
37 These will place the files under `builds/e300artydevkit`.
39 Note that in order to run the `mcs` target, you need to have the `vivado`
40 executable on your `PATH`.
44 The default bootrom consists of a program that immediately jumps to address
45 0x20400000, which is 0x00400000 bytes into the SPI flash memory on the Arty
49 Freedom U500 VC707 FPGA Dev Kit
50 -------------------------------
52 The Freedom U500 VC707 FPGA Dev Kit implements the Freedom U500 platform.
56 The Makefile corresponding to the Freedom U500 VC707 FPGA Dev Kit is
57 `Makefile.u500vc707devkit` and it consists of two main targets:
59 - `verilog`: to compile the Chisel source files and generate the Verilog files.
60 - `mcs`: to create a Configuration Memory File (.mcs) that can be programmed
61 onto an VC707 FPGA board.
63 To execute these targets, you can run the following commands:
66 $ make -f Makefile.u500vc707devkit verilog
67 $ make -f Makefile.u500vc707devkit mcs
70 These will place the files under `builds/u500vc707devkit`.
72 Note that in order to run the `mcs` target, you need to have the `vivado`
73 executable on your `PATH`.
77 The default bootrom consists of a bootloader that loads a program off the SD
78 card slot on the VC707 board.
