## Back to the 90s!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A2P is a mashup of OpenPOWER architecture and VexRiscv, creating a new 32b Power core for experimentation and lightweight designs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Status
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Function
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<img align="right" width="50%" src="media/sim.png">
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Ops (100+) not thoroughly tested, but running a minimal kernel and partial Litex BIOS in Verilator and on FPGAs. Likely still
|
||
|
|
some bugs in CR/XER handling.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Need to define supported translation modes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* SOC builds with Litex; software is built manually and runs from 'ROM' with on-board RAM.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Core and SOC run in Verilator/pyverilator. SOC uses emulated host UART.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### FPGA Implementation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Currently using Cmod A7-35T board.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Needs SOC code update to access external SRAM. I2C works.

||
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A lot of LUTs are being used by bypass/GPR write. Recent analysis (100MHz, Vivado/Artix):
