Magic Incantations for Litex Integration

Litex General

add local platform

from platforms import cmod7
``

### add local core

binPath = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(file)) sys.path.append(os.path.join(binPath, 'a2p')) from a2p import A2P from litex.soc.cores import cpu cpu.CPUS['a2p'] = A2P

### add local modules

sys.path.append(os.path.join(binPath, 'modules'))

### add extra UARTs (GPIO)

* must add PHY and UART to CSR

self.submodules.uart_1_phy = RS232PHY(pins, sys_clk_freq, 115200, with_dynamic_baudrate=True) self.add_csr('uart_1_phy') self.submodules.uart_1 = UART(phy=self.uart_1_phy) self.add_csr('uart_1')

* dynamic baudrate allows setting it in csr

   * tuning_word = int((baudrate/clk_freq)*2**32)
   * in bios
      * ```#define CONFIG_CLOCK_FREQUENCY 100000000```
      * or read freq with config_clock_frequency_read()
      * access csr with generated UART_1 funcs

   * 115200=004B7F5A (4947802)
   *   9600=00064A9C (412316)

### add 'CSR Definition' CSR for indirectly addressing CSRs, so that code doesn't need to change when gateware rebuilt

* add a 'CSR Definition' region at constant location (like CSR_BASE)

   * contains list of CSRs which point to and define CSRs available

   * Base Addr: 24 bits, Identifier: 8 bits

   * also could self.add_constant(ID) for each, so that software can use constants to check Identifier

   * needs to be able to reserve its region, then find out what's been built and add its regs before finalize()

### allow lxterm and lxserver to share main uart (crossover)


## Litex RTL

### add verilog module to top, between top-level bus and I/Os (slave)

from issiram import ISSIRam platform.add_source("./modules/issiram.v")

sram_bus = wishbone.Interface() pins = platform.request('issiram')

to rename pins

mem = { 'ce': pins.cen, 'oe': pins.oen, 'we': pins.wen, 'adr': pins.addr, 'dat': pins.data } sram = ISSIRam(self, ClockSignal(), ResetSignal(), sram_bus, mem) self.submodules.sram = sram self.bus.add_slave('sram', sram_bus, SoCRegion(origin=self.mem_map['sram'], size=sram.size)) self.logger.info("SRAM {} {} {}.".format( colorer('sram'), colorer("added", color="green"), self.bus.regions['sram']) )

### add verilog module to top, with connections to other top-level signals


### add Litex L2 between WB and verilog module
