<p>The <a class="el" href="classao68000.html" title="ao68000 top level module.">ao68000</a> IP Core is verified with the WinUAE MC68000 software emulator. The verification is based on the idea that given the same contents of:</p>
|
| 32 |
|
|
<ul>
|
| 33 |
|
|
<li>every register in the processor,</li>
|
| 34 |
|
|
<li>all memory locations that are read during execution,</li>
|
| 35 |
|
|
</ul>
|
| 36 |
|
|
<p>the result of execution, that is the contents of:</p>
|
| 37 |
|
|
<ul>
|
| 38 |
|
|
<li>every register in the processor,</li>
|
| 39 |
|
|
<li>all memory locations written during execution,</li>
|
| 40 |
|
|
</ul>
|
| 41 |
|
|
<p>should be the same for the IP Core and the software emulator.</p>
|
| 42 |
|
|
<h3>Verification procedure</h3>
|
| 43 |
|
|
<p>The verification is performed in the following way:</p>
|
| 44 |
|
|
<ul>
|
| 45 |
|
|
<li>the WinUAE MC68000 software emulator is compiled. The sources of the emulator are located at: <code>./tests/compare_with_winuae/winuae/</code>. The compiled binary is located at: <code>./tmp/compare_with_winuae/winuae/ao</code>.</li>
|
| 46 |
|
|
<li>the <a class="el" href="classao68000.html" title="ao68000 top level module.">ao68000</a> testbench is compiled. The sources of the testbench are located at: <code>./tests/compare_with_winuae/verilog/</code>. The compiled Icarus Verilog script is located at: <code>./tmp/compare_with_winuae/verilog/tb_ao68000</code>.</li>
|
| 47 |
|
|
<li>Both of the above executable programs accept arguments that specify the values of:<ul>
|
| 48 |
|
|
<li>memory locations that are read during execution,</li>
|
| 49 |
|
|
<li>the contents of every register in the processor.</li>
|
| 50 |
|
|
</ul>
|
| 51 |
|
|
</li>
|
| 52 |
|
|
<li>The result of executing both of the programs is the contents of:<ul>
|
| 53 |
|
|
<li>memory locations written during execution,</li>
|
| 54 |
|
|
<li>the contents of every register in the processor after execution.</li>
|
| 55 |
|
|
</ul>
|
| 56 |
|
|
</li>
|
| 57 |
|
|
<li>The tool <code>./sw/ao68000_tool/</code> (<a class="el" href="page_tool.html">ao68000_tool documentation</a>) is used to run both of the executable programs and compare the result of execution. The tool is capable of executing multiple concurrent simulations in order to utilize current multicore processors.</li>
|
| 58 |
|
|
</ul>
|
| 59 |
|
|
<p>The makefile with instructions to perform the above operations is located at: <code>./Makefile</code>.</p>
|
| 60 |
|
|
