OpenRISC Test Application for XESS XSV800 board

===============================================

Introduction

++++++++++++

This is OpenRISC Test Application. It contains OpenRISC 1200 and a set of
8
OpenCores peripherals. The whole test application SoC (System-on-Chip) is
9
designed with the XSV board in mind. Peripherals include UART16550, VGA CRT
10
controller, Audio controller, debug interface, Ethernet 10/100 MAC, SRAM
11
and Flash controllers. CRT and Audio controller are optimized for XSV
12
board.
13
OR1200 is a 32-bit RISC with harvard architecture. For XSV800 board it is
14
configured with 4/4KB data/instruction caches, no D/I MMU (lack of
15
BlockRAMs), and with programmable interrupt controller (PIC), MAC unit,
16
tick timer unit and debug unit.

Right now the whole system runs only at 10MHz. This is because we are
18
right now focusing on getting functionality working and not optimizing.
19
Running heavily constrained P&R takes much longer.

Software for this test application consists of:
22
- ORP (OpenRISC Reference Platform) monitor
23
- Linux (uClinux 2.0.36)
24
- OpenRISC GNU Toolchain (ANSI C compiler GCC, debugger etc)

XSV800 Programming Procedure
48
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
49
 
50
XSV800 board must be configured for 10MHz operation (see XSV documentation
51
how to set the clock divisor). If you want to use serial UART16550, or if
52
you want to use OR1K GDB debugger, you will also have to program the CPLD
53
with the cpld-tdm.svf file.
54
 
55
Make sure you set the divisor first. Download the .exo file. Then download
56
the .svf file. Turn the power off.
57
Connect XSV800 board via RS232 cable to your PC, start terminal software.
58
Set baud rate to 19200, data/parity/stop to 8/N/1. Now you can turn the
59
power back on and the FPGA will be configured from the flash and the RISC
60
will start booting.
61
 
62
What will boot depends what software is compiled and merged into the .exo
63
file. It can be the ORP (OpenRISC Reference Platform) monitor, or Linux,
64
or something else.
65
 
66
If you have problems downloading the files to the XSV board, please make sure
67
you first read the XSV manual and check the XESS website and XESS forum.

About OpenCores
87
===============
88
 
89
OpenCores is an organization that developes free, open source soft cores. If
90
you would like more information, please visit us at http://www.opencores.org.
91
 
92
We invite companies and individuals to help us in our mission. We need
93
experienced designers to verify and design new cores.
94
And we need companies and universities to use our existing verified cores in
95
projects (the whole purpose of OpenCores is to design free cores that someone
96
will use !).
