148 Renaming minsoc_wave.lxt to minsoc_wave.lxt2 for correctness. rfajardo 4826d 01h /minsoc/tags/release-1.0/bench/verilog/
147 Updating minsoc_bench.v to correctly acquire uart data.

Uart drivers: when an end of line character was sent, the driver appended a carriage return to it. This is not necessary and has been removed.
-Eth and Uart firmwares also had a carriage return after the end of line, also removed.

Minsoc_bench_defines.v: Renaming VCD_OUTPUT define to WAVEFORM_OUTPUT

run_bench: selecting -lxt2 for waveform output format. This output format size is 10 times smaller than vcd.

minsoc-install.sh: lxt2 output format requires that Icarus Verilog be installed with zlib support. For that, we now check if zlib is supported on script run.
rfajardo 4826d 03h /minsoc/tags/release-1.0/bench/verilog/
145 minsoc_bench_core.v and minsoc_bench_clock.v left only on verilator branche. It will develop there until it is ported for inclusion into trunk. RC-1.0 is now clean of it. rfajardo 4826d 18h /minsoc/tags/release-1.0/bench/verilog/
133 Roll back minsoc_bench.v to timed simulation. Merge minsoc_bench_core and minsoc_bench_clock again.

Applying Rubén Diez patch to avoid warnings on firmware load for simulation.
rfajardo 4842d 06h /minsoc/tags/release-1.0/bench/verilog/
131 Renaming testbench modules. Adding to ifdefs without which the testbench generation can fail. rfajardo 4846d 01h /minsoc/tags/release-1.0/bench/verilog/
130 minsoc_bench.v: task test_eth has to be phased out together with the ETHERNET definition. If there is no ETHERNET, test_eth cannot be defined. rfajardo 4846d 04h /minsoc/tags/release-1.0/bench/verilog/
129 Removing bugs introduced when splitting clocks and reset.
1) NEGATIVE_RESET or POSITIVE_RESET were missing as definition on minsoc_bench_clock.v (include minsoc_defines.v).
2) wait for reset on minsoc_bench.v to assert design_ready
rfajardo 4846d 15h /minsoc/tags/release-1.0/bench/verilog/
128 Outsourcing clocks and reset generations from minsoc_bench.v to minsoc_bench_clock.v. rfajardo 4846d 16h /minsoc/tags/release-1.0/bench/verilog/
127 Removing redundant simulation output. rfajardo 4846d 22h /minsoc/tags/release-1.0/bench/verilog/
126 Updating information about simulation time for Ethernet test. rfajardo 4846d 22h /minsoc/tags/release-1.0/bench/verilog/
125 Adjusting testbench messages. Creating tasks for firmware tests. rfajardo 4846d 22h /minsoc/tags/release-1.0/bench/verilog/
124 Removing Verilog delays from minsoc_bench.v. minsoc_bench_defines.v defines now if uart or ethernet have to be tested. If yes, it checks the behavior of the enclosed firmwares. If not, simulation simply runs forever. rfajardo 4847d 00h /minsoc/tags/release-1.0/bench/verilog/
123 Renaming reg final to firmware_size. Final is a keyword for Verilator. rfajardo 4847d 05h /minsoc/tags/release-1.0/bench/verilog/
109 Creating a branche for release candidate 1.0. rfajardo 4853d 20h /minsoc/tags/release-1.0/bench/verilog/
71 Modelsim whines about missing timescales:
-minsoc_bench.v, minsoc_memory_model.v and dbg_comm_vpi.v updated to include timescale.v

modelsim simulation working under Windows. Modelsim PE Student Edition 10.0a

Simulation<->adv_jtag_bridge<->gdb communication not working perfectly. I believe VPI module has to be recompiled, used pre-compiled one for now.
rfajardo 5023d 05h /minsoc/tags/release-1.0/bench/verilog/
69 backend update:
-minsoc_bench_defines.v
-gcc-opt.mk
Both files should now be under minsoc/backend to proper system functionality.
backend subdirectories have been given those files. Configure script updated accordingly.

They are searched there from system scripts and Makefiles.
-sim/bin/minsoc_verilog_files.txt has the files for Icarus Verilog, minsoc_bench_defines.v is now referenced from backend directory.
-sw/support/Makefile.inc now references to gcc-opt.mk inside backend.

backend/spartan3e_starter_kit_eth:
-It is the system configuration for Spartan 3E Starter Kit with Ethernet.
rfajardo 5027d 21h /minsoc/tags/release-1.0/bench/verilog/
64 firmware makefiles:
-every firmware makefile has now complete dependency. This also includes dependency on files under minsoc/backend (target specific files). That means, that if some target specific header changes, the support library dependent on it will be compiled. That will always happen, even if you compile the uart firmware. In other words, if you want to use uart firmware, you can always simply compile uart by issuing make all. If anything has changed, backend files, support library, drivers, it will update everything for you.
-TODO: dependency can be automatic created by using make together with gcc. Use it instead of declaring all dependencies manually.

Makefile system for synthesis:
-the dependency for every implementation step has been checked and is working fine.
-Makefile plus support files have been moved to minsoc/syn/src
-make usage is still under syn through files generated by backend bashscripts
Backend:
-files under backend are target specific files used for the system to work
-firmware compilation
-system simulation
-system implementation
-This directory is populated by visiting one of its subdirectories and typing ./configure

backend/spartan3a_dsp_kit:
-working on FPGA

backend/spartan3e_starter_kit:
-has to be tested

backend/ml509:
-missing files have to be copied and adapted, configure script has to be copied and adapted

backend/std:
-include files necessary for firmware compilation and system configuration
-it does not include files for synthesis and is not synthesizable
rfajardo 5030d 04h /minsoc/tags/release-1.0/bench/verilog/
60 Selection of memory model or implementation memory is now made on minsoc_bench_defines.v. It is done by a definition instead of including different files for simulation.

minsoc_bench_defines.v definition of reset level was not correct. It based the level decision on defineds POSITIVE_RESET or NEGATIVE_RESET, which couldn't be defined by then, since minsoc_defines.v is not included in minsoc_bench_defines.v. The decision has been moved to minsoc_bench.v and made a localparam instead of a definition.
rfajardo 5034d 17h /minsoc/tags/release-1.0/bench/verilog/
59 undefinition of NEGATIVE_RESET on minsoc_bench_defines.v cannot affect other inclusions of minsoc_defines.v. Instead, the testbench now works with the right reset level to avoid the implementation ordering problem. rfajardo 5034d 17h /minsoc/tags/release-1.0/bench/verilog/
58 Standard definitions depended on implementation order. Now, this should be solved.

minsoc_bench_defines.v: when setting reset to be positive (`define POSITIVE_RESET), NEGATIVE_RESET is undefined. This override the implementation order, so that independent of it, POSITIVE_RESET will be used.

minsoc_defines.v: when setting GENERIC_FPGA, FPGA_TAP and FPGA_CLOCK_DIVISION are undefined. This way, even if FPGA_TAP would come prior to GENERIC_TAP on the correspondent implementation, GENERIC_TAP would still be selected.

IMPORTANT: GENERIC_MEMORY must still be implemented first on minsoc_onchip_ram.v, because FPGA's memory is automatically selected from other definitions and cannot be undefined a priori. Since some other memory types can be selected, there is no trivial solution. However, this shouldn't be a big problem, since the beginning of this file will probably not be modified.
