risc8

Derivative version of the free risc8 micro core originally by Tom Coonan.

As the original code was distributed under GPLv2 or later license, a choice was made to license this derivate work under GPLv3.

The original code was once published on www.mindspring.com, which is no longer available. A copy of the page along with the code archive and documentation is still available under web archive (e.g. https://web.archive.org/web/20120118210705/http://www.mindspring.com/~tcoonan/newpic.html).

Simulation

The instructions how to simulate the core follow. The instructions are for the Icarus Verilog, which should be easily installed on a Linux box (e.g. for Ubuntu systems no harder than apt-get install iverilog).

# Create and enter the simulation folder
mkdir sim && cd sim

# Compile the sources (RTL and testbench)
iverilog -o test -s test  ../hdl/verilog/*.v  ../verif/hdl/verilog/*.v

# Create symlinks to the memory contents files
ln -s ../verif/other/sindata.hex sindata.hex
ln -s ../verif/other/basic.rom basic.rom

# Run the simulation
./test
>Reading in SIN data for example DDS in EXP.V from sindata.hex
>Free-RISC8.  Version 1.0
>Free-RISC8 1.0.  This is the BASIC CONFIDENCE TEST.
>Loading program memory with basic.rom
>VCD info: dumpfile risc8.vcd opened for output.
>MONITOR_OUTPUT_SIGNATURE: Expected output observed on PORTB: 00
>...
>MONITOR_PORTB: Port B changes to: 08
>Done monitoring for output signature.  9 Matches, 0 Mismatches.
>SUCCESS.
>End of simulation signalled.  Killing simulation in a moment.

# To inspect signal waveforms using GTKwave
gtkwave -f risc8.vcd
