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 4731d 18h /minsoc/trunk/
68 Still one configuration mismatch on minsoc_defines.v:
-MEMORY_ADR_WIDTH now 15
-orp.ld is defined accordingly
rfajardo 4733d 22h /minsoc/trunk/
67 Constraint file for backend spartan3a_dsp_kit.ucf was configured to include the STARTUP module.

This module is not enabled under the respective minsoc_defines.v. Thus, its pins had to be commented out.
rfajardo 4733d 22h /minsoc/trunk/
66 spartan3e_starter_kit requires special configuration of or1200_r3.

For that, configure script was specially adapted and that is reported on script execution.

For release-1.0 of MinSoC this should not be required, because or1200_r1 already has the
required configuration.
rfajardo 4733d 23h /minsoc/trunk/
65 Files missing in the last commit.
backend/std/configure
sw: eth, uart and driver Makefiles
rfajardo 4734d 00h /minsoc/trunk/
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

63 Adding a functional synthesis Makefile system. Still needs a reviews and enhancements, but at least it is something. rfajardo 4737d 19h /minsoc/trunk/
62 Wrapping different family modules of same manufacturer in a single module.

minsoc_clock_manager.v: uses fpga manufacturer wrappers

xilinx_dcm.v: selects between different Xilinx FPGA families and implements the module

altera_pll.v: selects between different Altera FPGA families and implements the module
rfajardo 4738d 02h /minsoc/trunk/
61 Removing supposely defined external function, which don't exist anymore. rfajardo 4738d 03h /minsoc/trunk/
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 4738d 14h /minsoc/trunk/
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 4738d 15h /minsoc/trunk/
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.
rfajardo 4738d 15h /minsoc/trunk/
57 If a FPGA manufacturer is selected, the FPGA families of other manufacturers are automatically ignored.

Some updated to comments.

CLOCK_DIVISOR back to 5. The number does not matter much, but 1 is a bad standard number, since it should never be selected. Comment says, use NO_CLOCK_DIVISION instead.

Changing standard FPGA back to Xilinx and Spartan3A. I'm only doing this because the synthesis examples page of wiki still assume this FPGA to be standardly selected.

56 Macros for all Altera family devices and pll instantiation javieralso 4745d 14h /minsoc/trunk/
55 Adjusting Makefiles to compile correctly with new firmware updates.

1) except.o not included into libsupport.a.
2) libsupport.a linked to except.o, now in correct order: ld libsupport.a except.o -o executable (not the other way around)
3) int.c was not being compiled because of a #ifdef which is not set anywhere
rfajardo 4746d 22h /minsoc/trunk/
54 Moving spr_defs.h to or1200.h ConX. 4747d 00h /minsoc/trunk/
53 Indentation, deleting redundant files and adding externals ConX. 4747d 01h /minsoc/trunk/
52 Altera ALTPLL Megafunction Instantiation javieralso 4755d 16h /minsoc/trunk/
51 sw/support/uart.c: Changing the order of writes to the Divisor Latch of UART. (Thanks Ramkumar) rfajardo 4762d 04h /minsoc/trunk/
50 Removing unused firmware files, respective to or1ksim actually.

Removing the inclusion of the removed file mc.h in reset.S, probably required by or1ksim at some point.

Reworked except.S to use a macro instead of repeating the same procedure 16 times or so. Explanation added to the macro as a leading comment.
rfajardo 4774d 01h /minsoc/trunk/
49 Language correction for README.txt. rfajardo 4775d 22h /minsoc/trunk/
48 Clear some old docs that are already ported to MinSOC's Wiki ConX. 4775d 23h /minsoc/trunk/
47 Firmware updated to work with gcc-4.5. It is actually working just fine and gcc-4.5 assembly code seems a lot cleaner.

I noticed that by increasing the free stack space for the interrupt handler by 130 made the resulting firmware not work. I assume it is because 130 is not aligned 130%4 = 2 and the stack simply does not work then. Instead I'm freeing the previous 116 plus 128 (for 32 registers as mentioned by Jeremy) and it works.
rfajardo 4776d 22h /minsoc/trunk/
46 Including an explanation of what has to be updated on gpio to port it smoothly to minsoc. rfajardo 4777d 02h /minsoc/trunk/
45 A more stable version ConX. 4777d 18h /minsoc/trunk/
44 Fixing some bugs. But it still works only in Debian/Ubuntu ConX. 4777d 19h /minsoc/trunk/
43 Making some changes to MinSOC install script ConX. 4778d 16h /minsoc/trunk/
41 Including setup scripts to install all required tools to work with minsoc and to download all required sources. Thanks for the contribution of Xanthopoulos Constantinos. rfajardo 4782d 22h /minsoc/trunk/
40 Commiting a contributions directory, which has raw contributions of users. These contributions still have to be adapted to the system in order to work well. However, some users are certainly able to work with these versions.

FAQ: -added new idea to circumvent onboard DLC9 cable problem for adv_jtag_bridge
INSTALL: -gives a hint on how to install the system for Windows
HOWTO: -explains what a ucf file is and how to create it

backend: now we have the first contribution of a ucf file for the ML509 board (thanks to Matthew Hick)

Documentation: THESIS.txt explains to users, willing to tweak/understand the inner behavior of the OR1200 implementation of OpenRISC, what to read in order to get this information.
rfajardo 4788d 21h /minsoc/trunk/
39 FAQ:
-Adv_jtag_bridge self test fails?
-included now SoC flow mistakes
-forgetting to upload the bitfile
-leaving clock unconnected
-older information is now under "Known Issues" right below of SoC flow mistakes

Software:
-eth: included eth.h is from drivers and not from this directory. eth.h from this directory is old and has been removed.
-uart: included uart.h is from drivers and not from this directory. uart.h from this directory is old and has been removed.
