A2P
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
-
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):
