PROJECT:

SoC/OpenRISC Development (debug) Interface

PROJECT AND DOCUMENTATION ON THE WEB:

The project that this files are part of is avaliable on the opencores

web page:

http://www.opencores.org/cores/DebugInterface/

Documentation can also be found there. For direct download of the

documentation go to:

http://www.opencores.org/cgi-bin/cvsget.cgi/dbg_interface/doc/DbgSupp.pdf

OVERVIEW (main Features):

Development Interface is used for development purposes

(Boundary Scan testing and debugging). It is an interface

between the RISC, peripheral cores and any commercial

debugger/emulator or BS testing device. The external

debugger or BS tester connects to the core via JTAG port.

The Development Port also contains a trace and support for

tracing the program flow, execution coverage and profiling

the code.

dbg_tb.v is a testbench file.

file_communication.v is used for simulating the whole design together with the

  debugger through two files that make a JTAG interface

dbg_top.v is top level module of the development interface design

COMPATIBILITY:

- WISHBONE rev B.1

- IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG)

KNOWN PROBLEMS (limits):

- RISC changes Watchpoints and breakpoints on rising edge of the

Mclk clock signal. Simulation should do the same.

TO DO:

- Add a WISHBONE master support if needed

- Add support for boundary scan (This is already done, but not yet incorporated in the design)
