Targets can be asic or fpga and include a Printed circuit board(PCB) that may include other electronic components. The goal for all components is to assign them to at least one target and prove that the work in silicon<br> </p> <p> <br> <br> </p> <h2>PROJECT</h2> <p>A project is a collection of components. A database must define at least one project to create an area where components may be stored. Other projects may be created as needed to group similar components together and reducing clutter. If any component in a project uses a component from a child project then that child project must also be included in the parent project.</p> <p><br> <br> </p> <p><br> <br> </p> <h2>COMPONENT</h2> <p>A component is a basic building block that may be used to make other components.</p> <br> <p> </p> <br> <h2>LIB</h2> <p>A library is a collection of building blocks that may not be synthesiable in all target technologies and may require customizations. The use of lib parts in the rtl code will facilitate porting a component into different technologies.</p> <p><br> </p> <h2>TOOLS<br> </h2> <p>The tools directory contains all of the socgen tools needed to build , simulate and synthesise all of the systems and components in the database. Scripts and installation instructions are provided for any other opensource tools that may be required. There are also instructions for any propritory tools that are used.<br> </p> <br> <p><br> <br> </p> <h2>BENCH<br> </h2> <p>A testbench is used for all simulations and test suites. Any system or component may be simulated. Components can only do generic rtl sims while systems may do either generic rtl ,specific rtl or gate sims. Generic rtl models are included in the socgen library, specific ones must be obtained from the IC vendor.<br> </p> <p><br> </p> <br> <h2>DOC<br> </h2> The documentation directory. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <p><br> </p> <br> <p><br> <br> </p> <p><br> <br> </p> <p><br> <br> </p> <p><br> <br> </p> <p><br> <br> </p> <p><br> <br> </p> <p><br> <br> </p> <p><br> <br> </p> <p><br> <br> </p> <p><br> <br> </p> <p><br> <br> </p> </body> </html>
