Prompt for target technology CONFIG_SYN_INFERRED Selects the target technology for memory and pads. The following are available: - Inferred: Generic FPGA or ASIC targets if your synthesis tool is capable of inferring RAMs and pads automatically. - Actel ProAsic/P/3 and Axellerator FPGAs - Aeroflex UT25CRH Rad-Hard 0.25 um CMOS - Altera: Most Altera FPGA families - Altera-Stratix: Altera Stratix FPGA family - Altera-StratixII: Altera Stratix-II FPGA family - ATC18: Atmel-Nantes 0.18 um rad-hard CMOS - IHP25: IHP 0.25 um CMOS - IHP25RH: IHP Rad-Hard 0.25 um CMOS - Lattice : EC/ECP/XP FPGAs - Quicklogic : Eclipse/E/II FPGAs - UMC-0.18 : UMC 0.18 um CMOS with Virtual Silicon libraries - Xilinx-Spartan/2/3: Xilinx Spartan/2/3 libraries - Xilinx-Spartan3E: Xilinx Spartan3E libraries - Xilinx-Virtex/E: Xilinx Virtex/E libraries - Xilinx-Virtex2/4/5: Xilinx Virtex2/4/5 libraries Ram library CONFIG_MEM_VIRAGE Select RAM generators for ASIC targets. Infer ram CONFIG_SYN_INFER_RAM Say Y here if you want the synthesis tool to infer your RAM automatically. Say N to directly instantiate technology- specific RAM cells for the selected target technology package. Infer pads CONFIG_SYN_INFER_PADS Say Y here if you want the synthesis tool to infer pads. Say N to directly instantiate technology-specific pads from the selected target technology package. No async reset CONFIG_SYN_NO_ASYNC Say Y here if you disable asynchronous reset in some of the IP cores. Might be necessary if the target library does not have cells with asynchronous set/reset. Scan support CONFIG_SYN_SCAN Say Y here to enable scan support in some cores. This will enable the scan support generics where available and add logic to make the design testable using full-scan. Use Virtex CLKDLL for clock synchronisation CONFIG_CLK_INFERRED Certain target technologies include clock generators to scale or phase-adjust the system and SDRAM clocks. This is currently supported for Xilinx, Altera and Proasic3 FPGAs. Depending on technology, you can select to use the Xilinx CKLDLL macro (Virtex, VirtexE, Spartan1/2), the Xilinx DCM (Virtex-2, Spartan3, Virtex-4), the Altera ALTDLL (Stratix, Cyclone), or the Proasic3 PLL. Choose the 'inferred' option to skip a clock generator. Clock multiplier CONFIG_CLK_MUL When using the Xilinx DCM or Altera ALTPLL, the system clock can be multiplied with a factor of 2 - 32, and divided by a factor of 1 - 32. This makes it possible to generate almost any desired processor frequency. When using the Xilinx CLKDLL generator, the resulting frequency scale factor (mul/div) must be one of 1/2, 1 or 2. On Proasic3, the factor can be 1 - 128. WARNING: The resulting clock must be within the limits specified by the target FPGA family. Clock divider CONFIG_CLK_DIV When using the Xilinx DCM or Altera ALTPLL, the system clock can be multiplied with a factor of 2 - 32, and divided by a factor of 1 - 32. This makes it possible to generate almost any desired processor frequency. When using the Xilinx CLKDLL generator, the resulting frequency scale factor (mul/div) must be one of 1/2, 1 or 2. On Proasic3, the factor can be 1 - 128. WARNING: The resulting clock must be within the limits specified by the target FPGA family. Output clock divider CONFIG_OCLK_DIV When using the Proasic3 PLL, the system clock is generated by three parameters: input clock multiplication, input clock division and output clock division. Only certain values of these parameters are allowed, but unfortunately this is not documented by Actel. To find the correct values, run the Libero Smartgen tool and insert you desired input and output clock frequencies in the Static PLL configurator. The mul/div factors can then be read out from tool. System clock multiplier CONFIG_CLKDLL_1_2 The Xilinx CLKDLL can scale the input clock with a factor of 0.5, 1.0, or 2.0. Useful when the target board has an oscillator with a too high (or low) frequency for your design. The divided clock will be used as the main clock for the whole processor (except PCI and ethernet clocks). System clock multiplier CONFIG_DCM_2_3 The Xilinx DCM and Altera ALTDLL can scale the input clock with a large range of factors. Useful when the target board has an oscillator with a too high (or low) frequency for your design. The divided clock will be used as the main clock for the whole processor (except PCI and ethernet clocks). NOTE: the resulting frequency must be at least 24 MHz or the DCM and ALTDLL might not work. Enable CLKDLL for PCI clock CONFIG_PCI_CLKDLL Say Y here to re-synchronize the PCI clock using a Virtex BUFGDLL macro. Will improve PCI clock-to-output delays on the expense of input-setup requirements. Use PCI clock system clock CONFIG_PCI_SYSCLK Say Y here to the PCI clock to generate the system clock. The PCI clock can be scaled using the DCM or CLKDLL to generate a suitable processor clock. External SDRAM clock feedback CONFIG_CLK_NOFB Say Y here to disable the external clock feedback to synchronize the SDRAM clock. This option is necessary if your board or design does not have an external clock feedback that is connected to the pllref input of the clock generator. Number of processors CONFIG_PROC_NUM The number of processor cores. The LEON3MP design can accomodate up to 4 LEON3 processor cores. Use 1 unless you know what you are doing ... Number of SPARC register windows CONFIG_IU_NWINDOWS The SPARC architecture (and LEON) allows 2 - 32 register windows. However, any number except 8 will require that you modify and recompile your run-time system or kernel. Unless you know what you are doing, use 8. SPARC V8 multiply and divide instruction CONFIG_IU_V8MULDIV If you say Y here, the SPARC V8 multiply and divide instructions will be implemented. The instructions are: UMUL, UMULCC, SMUL, SMULCC, UDIV, UDIVCC, SDIV, SDIVCC. In code containing frequent integer multiplications and divisions, significant performance increase can be achieved. Emulated floating-point operations will also benefit from this option. By default, the gcc compiler does not emit multiply or divide instructions and your code must be compiled with -mv8 to see any performance increase. On the other hand, code compiled with -mv8 will generate an illegal instruction trap when executed on processors with this option disabled. The divider consumes approximately 2 kgates, the multiplier 6 kgates. Multiplier latency CONFIG_IU_MUL_LATENCY_2 Implementation options for the integer multiplier. Type Implementation issue-rate/latency 2-clocks 32x32 pipelined multiplier 1/2 4-clocks 16x16 standard multiplier 4/4 5-clocks 16x16 pipelined multiplier 4/5 Multiplier latency CONFIG_IU_MUL_MAC If you say Y here, the SPARC V8e UMAC/SMAC (multiply-accumulate) instructions will be enabled. The instructions implement a single-cycle 16x16->32 bits multiply with a 40-bits accumulator. The details of these instructions can be found in the LEON manual, This option is only available when 16x16 multiplier is used. Single vector trapping CONFIG_IU_SVT Single-vector trapping is a SPARC V8e option to reduce code-size in small applications. If enabled, the processor will jump to the address of trap 0 (tt = 0x00) for all traps. No trap table is then needed. The trap type is present in %psr.tt and must be decoded by the O/S. Saves 4 Kbyte of code, but increases trap and interrupt overhead. Currently, the only O/S supporting this option is eCos. To enable SVT, the O/S must also set bit 13 in %asr17. Load latency CONFIG_IU_LDELAY Defines the pipeline load delay (= pipeline cycles before the data from a load instruction is available for the next instruction). One cycle gives best performance, but might create a critical path on targets with slow (data) cache memories. A 2-cycle delay can improve timing but will reduce performance with about 5%. Reset address CONFIG_IU_RSTADDR By default, a SPARC processor starts execution at address 0. With this option, any 4-kbyte aligned reset start address can be choosen. Keep at 0 unless you really know what you are doing. Power-down CONFIG_PWD Say Y here to enable the power-down feature of the processor. Might reduce the maximum frequency slightly on FPGA targets. For details on the power-down operation, see the LEON3 manual. Hardware watchpoints CONFIG_IU_WATCHPOINTS The processor can have up to 4 hardware watchpoints, allowing to create both data and instruction breakpoints at any memory location, also in PROM. Each watchpoint will use approximately 500 gates. Use 0 to disable the watchpoint function. Floating-point enable CONFIG_FPU_ENABLE Say Y here to enable the floating-point interface for the MEIKO or GRFPU. Note that no FPU's are provided with the GPL version of GRLIB. Both the Gaisler GRFPU and the Meiko FPU are commercial cores and must be obtained separately. FPU selection CONFIG_FPU_GRFPU Select between Gaisler Research's GRFPU and GRFPU-lite FPUs or the Sun Meiko FPU core. All cores are fully IEEE-754 compatible and support all SPARC FPU instructions. GRFPU Multiplier CONFIG_FPU_GRFPU_INFMUL On FPGA targets choose inferred multiplier. For ASIC implementations choose between Synopsys Design Ware (DW) multiplier or Module Generator (ModGen) multiplier. The DW multiplier gives better results (smaller area and better timing) but requires a DW license. The ModGen multiplier is part of GRLIB and does not require a license. Shared GRFPU CONFIG_FPU_GRFPU_SH If enabled multiple CPU cores will share one GRFPU. GRFPC Configuration CONFIG_FPU_GRFPC0 Configures the GRFPU-LITE controller. In simple configuration controller executes FP instructions in parallel with integer instructions. FP operands are fetched in the register file stage and the result is written in the write stage. This option uses least area resources. Data forwarding configuration gives ~ 10 % higher FP performance than the simple configuration by adding data forwarding between the pipeline stages. Non-blocking controller allows FP load and store instructions to execute in parallel with FP instructions. The performance increase is ~ 20 % for FP applications. This option uses most logic resources and is suitable for ASIC implementations. Floating-point netlist CONFIG_FPU_NETLIST Say Y here to use a VHDL netlist of the GRFPU-Lite. This is only available in certain versions of grlib. Enable Instruction cache CONFIG_ICACHE_ENABLE The instruction cache should always be enabled to allow maximum performance. Some low-end system might want to save area and disable the cache, but this will reduce the performance with a factor of 2 - 3. Enable Data cache CONFIG_DCACHE_ENABLE The data cache should always be enabled to allow maximum performance. Some low-end system might want to save area and disable the cache, but this will reduce the performance with a factor of 2 at least. Instruction cache associativity CONFIG_ICACHE_ASSO1 The instruction cache can be implemented as a multi-set cache with 1 - 4 sets. Higher associativity usually increases the cache hit rate and thereby the performance. The downside is higher power consumption and increased gate-count for tag comparators. Note that a 1-set cache is effectively a direct-mapped cache. Instruction cache set size CONFIG_ICACHE_SZ1 The size of each set in the instuction cache (kbytes). Valid values are 1 - 64 in binary steps. Note that the full range is only supported by the generic and virtex2 targets. Most target packages are limited to 2 - 16 kbyte. Large set size gives higher performance but might affect the maximum frequency (on ASIC targets). The total instruction cache size is the number of set multiplied with the set size. Instruction cache line size CONFIG_ICACHE_LZ16 The instruction cache line size. Can be set to either 16 or 32 bytes per line. Instruction caches typically benefit from larger line sizes, but on small caches it migh be better with 16 bytes/line to limit eviction miss rate. Instruction cache replacement algorithm CONFIG_ICACHE_ALGORND Cache replacement algorithm for caches with 2 - 4 sets. The 'random' algorithm selects the set to evict randomly. The least-recently-replaced (LRR) algorithm evicts the set least recently replaced. The least- recently-used (LRU) algorithm evicts the set least recently accessed. The random algorithm uses a simple 1- or 2-bit counter to select the eviction set and has low area overhead. The LRR scheme uses one extra bit in the tag ram and has therefore also low area overhead. However, the LRR scheme can only be used with 2-set caches. The LRU scheme has typically the best performance but also highest area overhead. A 2-set LRU uses 1 flip-flop per line, a 3-set LRU uses 3 flip-flops per line, and a 4-set LRU uses 5 flip-flops per line to store the access history. Instruction cache locking CONFIG_ICACHE_LOCK Say Y here to enable cache locking in the instruction cache. Locking can be done on cache-line level, but will increase the width of the tag ram with one bit. If you don't know what locking is good for, it is safe to say N. Data cache associativity CONFIG_DCACHE_ASSO1 The data cache can be implemented as a multi-set cache with 1 - 4 sets. Higher associativity usually increases the cache hit rate and thereby the performance. The downside is higher power consumption and increased gate-count for tag comparators. Note that a 1-set cache is effectively a direct-mapped cache. Data cache set size CONFIG_DCACHE_SZ1 The size of each set in the data cache (kbytes). Valid values are 1 - 64 in binary steps. Note that the full range is only supported by the generic and virtex2 targets. Most target packages are limited to 2 - 16 kbyte. A large cache gives higher performance but the data cache is timing critical an a too large setting might affect the maximum frequency (on ASIC targets). The total data cache size is the number of set multiplied with the set size. Data cache line size CONFIG_DCACHE_LZ16 The data cache line size. Can be set to either 16 or 32 bytes per line. A smaller line size gives better associativity and higher cache hit rate, but requires a larger tag memory. Data cache replacement algorithm CONFIG_DCACHE_ALGORND See the explanation for instruction cache replacement algorithm. Data cache locking CONFIG_DCACHE_LOCK Say Y here to enable cache locking in the data cache. Locking can be done on cache-line level, but will increase the width of the tag ram with one bit. If you don't know what locking is good for, it is safe to say N. Data cache snooping CONFIG_DCACHE_SNOOP Say Y here to enable data cache snooping on the AHB bus. Is only useful if you have additional AHB masters such as the DSU or a target PCI interface. Note that the target technology must support dual-port RAMs for this option to be enabled. Dual-port RAMS are currently supported on Virtex/2, Virage and Actel targets. Data cache snooping implementation CONFIG_DCACHE_SNOOP_FAST The default snooping implementation is 'slow', which works if you don't have AHB slaves in cacheable areas capable of zero-waitstates non-sequential write accesses. Otherwise use 'fast' and suffer a few kgates extra area. This option is currently only needed in multi-master systems with the SSRAM or DDR memory controllers. Separate snoop tags CONFIG_DCACHE_SNOOP_SEPTAG Enable a separate memory to store the data tags used for snooping. This is necessary when snooping support is wanted in systems with MMU, typically for SMP systems. In this case, the snoop tags will contain the physical tag address while the normal tags contain the virtual tag address. This option can also be together with the 'fast snooping' option to enable snooping support on technologies without dual-port RAMs. In such case, the snoop tag RAM will be implemented using a two-port RAM. Fixed cacheability map CONFIG_CACHE_FIXED If this variable is 0, the cacheable memory regions are defined by the AHB plug&play information (default). To overriden the plug&play settings, this variable can be set to indicate which areas should be cached. The value is treated as a 16-bit hex value with each bit defining if a 256 Mbyte segment should be cached or not. The right-most (LSB) bit defines the cacheability of AHB address 0 - 256 MByte, while the left-most bit (MSB) defines AHB address 3840 - 4096 MByte. If the bit is set, the corresponding area is cacheable. A value of 00F3 defines address 0 - 0x20000000 and 0x40000000 - 0x80000000 as cacheable. Local data ram CONFIG_DCACHE_LRAM Say Y here to add a local ram to the data cache controller. Accesses to the ram (load/store) will be performed at 0 waitstates and store data will never be written back to the AHB bus. Size of local data ram CONFIG_DCACHE_LRAM_SZ1 Defines the size of the local data ram in Kbytes. Note that most technology libraries do not support larger rams than 16 Kbyte. Start address of local data ram CONFIG_DCACHE_LRSTART Defines the 8 MSB bits of start address of the local data ram. By default set to 8f (start address = 0x8f000000), but any value (except 0) is possible. Note that the local data ram 'shadows' a 16 Mbyte block of the address space. MMU enable CONFIG_MMU_ENABLE Say Y here to enable the Memory Management Unit. MMU split icache/dcache table lookaside buffer CONFIG_MMU_COMBINED Select "combined" for a combined icache/dcache table lookaside buffer, "split" for a split icache/dcache table lookaside buffer MMU tlb replacement scheme CONFIG_MMU_REPARRAY Select "LRU" to use the "least recently used" algorithm for TLB replacement, or "Increment" for a simple incremental replacement scheme. Combined i/dcache tlb CONFIG_MMU_I2 Select the number of entries for the instruction TLB, or the combined icache/dcache TLB if such is used. Split tlb, dcache CONFIG_MMU_D2 Select the number of entries for the dcache TLB. Fast writebuffer CONFIG_MMU_FASTWB Only selectable if split tlb is enabled. In case fast writebuffer is enabled the tlb hit will be made concurrent to the cache hit. This leads to higher store performance, but increased power and area. MMU pagesize CONFIG_MMU_PAGE_4K The deafult SPARC V8 SRMMU page size is 4 Kbyte. This limits the cache way size to 4 Kbyte, and total data cache size to 16 Kbyte, when the MMU is used. To increase the maximum data cache size, the MMU pages size can be increased to up 32 Kbyte. This will give a maximum data cache size of 128 Kbyte. Note that an MMU page size different than 4 Kbyte will require a special linux tool-chain if glibc is used. If you don't know what you are doing, stay with 4 Kbyte ... DSU enable CONFIG_DSU_ENABLE The debug support unit (DSU) allows non-intrusive debugging and tracing of both executed instructions and AHB transfers. If you want to enable the DSU, say Y here and select the configuration below. Trace buffer enable CONFIG_DSU_TRACEBUF Say Y to enable the trace buffer. The buffer is not necessary for debugging, only for tracing instructions and data transfers. Enable instruction tracing CONFIG_DSU_ITRACE If you say Y here, an instruction trace buffer will be implemented in each processor. The trace buffer will trace executed instructions and their results, and place them in a circular buffer. The buffer can be read out by any AHB master, and in particular by the debug communication link. Size of trace buffer CONFIG_DSU_ITRACESZ1 Select the buffer size (in kbytes) for the instruction trace buffer. Each line in the buffer needs 16 bytes. A 128-entry buffer will thus need 2 kbyte. Enable AHB tracing CONFIG_DSU_ATRACE If you say Y here, an AHB trace buffer will be implemented in the debug support unit processor. The AHB buffer will trace all transfers on the AHB bus and save them in a circular buffer. The trace buffer can be read out by any AHB master, and in particular by the debug communication link. Size of trace buffer CONFIG_DSU_ATRACESZ1 Select the buffer size (in kbytes) for the AHB trace buffer. Each line in the buffer needs 16 bytes. A 128-entry buffer will thus need 2 kbyte. LEON3FT enable CONFIG_LEON3FT_EN Say Y here to use the fault-tolerant LEON3FT core instead of the standard non-FT LEON3. IU Register file protection CONFIG_IUFT_NONE Select the FT implementation in the LEON3FT integer unit register file. The options include parity, parity with sparing, 7-bit BCH and TMR. FPU Register file protection CONFIG_FPUFT_EN Say Y to enable SEU protection of the FPU register file. The GRFPU will be protected using 8-bit parity without restart, while the GRFPU-Lite will be protected with 4-bit parity with restart. If disabled the FPU register file will be implemented using flip-flops. Cache memory error injection CONFIG_RF_ERRINJ Say Y here to enable error injection in to the IU/FPU regfiles. Affects only simulation. Cache memory protection CONFIG_CACHE_FT_EN Enable SEU error-correction in the cache memories. Cache memory error injection CONFIG_CACHE_ERRINJ Say Y here to enable error injection in to the cache memories. Affects only simulation. Leon3ft netlist CONFIG_LEON3_NETLIST Say Y here to use a VHDL netlist of the LEON3FT. This is only available in certain versions of grlib. IU assembly printing CONFIG_IU_DISAS Enable printing of executed instructions to the console. IU assembly printing in netlist CONFIG_IU_DISAS_NET Enable printing of executed instructions to the console also when simulating a netlist. NOTE: with this option enabled, it will not be possible to pass place&route. 32-bit program counters CONFIG_DEBUG_PC32 Since the LSB 2 bits of the program counters always are zero, they are normally not implemented. If you say Y here, the program counters will be implemented with full 32 bits, making debugging of the VHDL model much easier. Turn of this option for synthesis or you will be wasting area. CONFIG_AHB_DEFMST Sets the default AHB master (see AMBA 2.0 specification for definition). Should not be set to a value larger than the number of AHB masters - 1. For highest processor performance, leave it at 0. Default AHB master CONFIG_AHB_RROBIN Say Y here to enable round-robin arbitration of the AHB bus. A N will select fixed priority, with the master with the highest bus index having the highest priority. Support AHB split-transactions CONFIG_AHB_SPLIT Say Y here to enable AHB split-transaction support in the AHB arbiter. Unless you actually have an AHB slave that can generate AHB split responses, say N and save some gates. Default AHB master CONFIG_AHB_IOADDR Selects the MSB adddress (HADDR[31:20]) of the AHB IO area, as defined in the plug&play extentions of the AMBA bus. Should be kept to FFF unless you really know what you are doing. APB bridge address CONFIG_APB_HADDR Selects the MSB adddress (HADDR[31:20]) of the APB bridge. Should be kept at 800 for software compatibility. AHB monitor CONFIG_AHB_MON Say Y to enable the AHB bus monitor. The monitor will check for illegal AHB transactions during simulation. It has no impact on synthesis. Report AHB errors CONFIG_AHB_MONERR Print out detected AHB violations on console. Report AHB warnings CONFIG_AHB_MONWAR Print out detected AHB warnings on console. DSU enable CONFIG_DSU_UART Say Y to enable the AHB uart (serial-to-AHB). This is the most commonly used debug communication link. JTAG Enable CONFIG_DSU_JTAG Say Y to enable the JTAG debug link (JTAG-to-AHB). Debugging is done with GRMON through the boards JTAG chain at speed of 300 kbits/s. Supported JTAG cables are Xilinx Parallel Cable III and IV. Ethernet DSU enable CONFIG_DSU_ETH Say Y to enable the Ethernet Debug Communication Link (EDCL). The link provides a DSU gateway between ethernet and the AHB bus. Debugging is done at 10 or 100 Mbit/s, using the GRMON debug monitor. You must enable the GRETH Ethernet MAC for this option to become active. Size of EDCL trace buffer CONFIG_DSU_ETHSZ1 Select the buffer size (in kbytes) for the EDCL. 1 or 2 kbyte is usually enough, while a larger buffer will increase the transfer rate. When operating at 100 Mbit, use a buffer size of at least 8 kbyte for maximum throughput. MSB IP address CONFIG_DSU_IPMSB Set the MSB 16 bits of the IP address of the EDCL. LSB IP address CONFIG_DSU_IPLSB Set the LSB 16 bits of the IP address of the EDCL. MSB ethernet address CONFIG_DSU_ETHMSB Set the MSB 24 bits of the ethernet address of the EDCL. LSB ethernet address CONFIG_DSU_ETHLSB Set the LSB 24 bits of the ethernet address of the EDCL. Programmable MAC/IP address CONFIG_DSU_ETH_PROG Say Y to make the LSB 4 bits of the EDCL MAC and IP address configurable using the ethi.edcladdr inputs. PROM/SRAM memory controller CONFIG_SRCTRL Say Y here to enable a simple (and small) PROM/SRAM memory controller. The controller has a fixed number of waitstates, and is primarily intended for FPGA implementations. The RAM data bus is always 32 bits, the PROM can be configured to either 8 or 32 bits (hardwired). 8-bit memory support CONFIG_SRCTRL_8BIT If you say Y here, the simple PROM/SRAM memory controller will implement 8-bit PROM mode. PROM waitstates CONFIG_SRCTRL_PROMWS Select the number of waitstates for PROM access. RAM waitstates CONFIG_SRCTRL_RAMWS Select the number of waitstates for RAM access. IO waitstates CONFIG_SRCTRL_IOWS Select the number of waitstates for IO access. Read-modify-write support CONFIG_SRCTRL_RMW Say Y here to perform byte- and half-word writes as a read-modify-write sequence. This is necessary if your SRAM does not have individual byte enables. If you are unsure, it is safe to say Y. SRAM bank select CONFIG_SRCTRL_SRBANKS Select number of SRAM banks. SRAM bank size select CONFIG_SRCTRL_BANKSZ Select size of SRAM banks in kBytes. PROM address bit select CONFIG_SRCTRL_ROMASEL Select address bit for PROM bank decoding. Leon2 memory controller CONFIG_MCTRL_LEON2 Say Y here to enable the LEON2 memory controller. The controller can access PROM, I/O, SRAM and SDRAM. The bus width for PROM and SRAM is programmable to 8-, 16- or 32-bits. 8-bit memory support CONFIG_MCTRL_8BIT If you say Y here, the PROM/SRAM memory controller will support 8-bit mode, i.e. operate from 8-bit devices as if they were 32-bit. Say N to save a few hundred gates. 16-bit memory support CONFIG_MCTRL_16BIT If you say Y here, the PROM/SRAM memory controller will support 16-bit mode, i.e. operate from 16-bit devices as if they were 32-bit. Say N to save a few hundred gates. Write strobe feedback CONFIG_MCTRL_WFB If you say Y here, the PROM/SRAM write strobes (WRITEN, WEN) will be used to enable the data bus drivers during write cycles. This will guarantee that the data is still valid on the rising edge of the write strobe. If you say N, the write strobes and the data bus drivers will be clocked on the rising edge, potentially creating a hold time problem in external memory or I/O. However, in all practical cases, there is enough capacitance in the data bus lines to keep the value stable for a few (many?) nano-seconds after the buffers have been disabled, making it safe to say N and remove a combinational path in the netlist that might be difficult to analyze. Write strobe feedback CONFIG_MCTRL_5CS If you say Y here, the 5th (RAMSN[4]) SRAM chip select signal will be enabled. If you don't intend to use it, say N and save some gates. SDRAM controller enable CONFIG_MCTRL_SDRAM Say Y here to enabled the PC100/PC133 SDRAM controller. If you don't intend to use SDRAM, say N and save about 1 kgates. SDRAM controller inverted clock CONFIG_MCTRL_SDRAM_INVCLK If you say Y here, the SDRAM controller output signals will be delayed with 1/2 clock in respect to the SDRAM clock. This will allow the used of an SDRAM clock which in not strictly in phase with the internal clock. This option will limit the SDRAM frequency to 40 - 50 MHz. On FPGA targets without SDRAM clock synchronizations through PLL/DLL, say Y. On ASIC targets, say N and tell your foundry to balance the SDRAM clock output. SDRAM separate address buses CONFIG_MCTRL_SDRAM_SEPBUS Say Y here if your SDRAM is connected through separate address and data buses (SA & SD). This is the case on the GR-CPCI-XC2V6000 board, but not on the GR-PCI-XC2V3000 or Avnet XCV1500E boards. 64-bit data bus CONFIG_MCTRL_SDRAM_BUS64 Say Y here to enable 64-bit SDRAM data bus. Page burst enable CONFIG_MCTRL_PAGE Say Y here to enable SDRAM page burst operation. This will implement read operations using page bursts rather than 8-word bursts and save about 500 gates (100 LUTs). Note that not all SDRAM supports page burst, so use this option with care. Programmable page burst enable CONFIG_MCTRL_PROGPAGE Say Y here to enable programmable SDRAM page burst operation. This will allow to dynamically enable/disable page burst by setting bit 17 in MCFG2. SDRAM controller enable CONFIG_SDCTRL Say Y here to enabled a 32/64-bit PC133 SDRAM controller. SDRAM controller inverted clock CONFIG_SDCTRL_INVCLK If you say Y here, the SDRAM clock will be inverted in respect to the system clock and the SDRAM signals. This will limit the SDRAM frequency to 50/66 MHz, but has the benefit that you will not need a PLL to generate the SDRAM clock. On FPGA targets, say Y. On ASIC targets, say N and tell your foundry to balance the SDRAM clock output. 64-bit data bus CONFIG_SDCTRL_BUS64 Say Y here to enable 64-bit data bus. Page burst enable CONFIG_SDCTRL_PAGE Say Y here to enable SDRAM page burst operation. This will implement read operations using page bursts rather than 8-word bursts and save about 500 gates (100 LUTs). Note that not all SDRAM supports page burst, so use this option with care. Programmable page burst enable CONFIG_SDCTRL_PROGPAGE Say Y here to enable programmable SDRAM page burst operation. This will allow to dynamically enable/disable page burst by setting bit 17 in MCFG2. On-chip rom CONFIG_AHBROM_ENABLE Say Y here to add a block on on-chip rom to the AHB bus. The ram provides 0-waitstates read access, burst support, and 8-, 16- and 32-bit data size. The rom will be syntheised into block rams on Xilinx and Altera FPGA devices, and into gates on ASIC technologies. GRLIB includes a utility to automatically create the rom VHDL model (ahbrom.vhd) from an ELF file. Refer to the GRLIB documentation for details. On-chip rom address CONFIG_AHBROM_START Set the start address of AHB ROM (HADDR[31:20]). The ROM will occupy a 1 Mbyte slot at the selected address. Default is 000, corresponding to AHB address 0x00000000. When address 0x0 is selected, the rom area of any other memory controller is set to 0x10000000 to avoid conflicts. Enable pipeline register for on-chip rom CONFIG_AHBROM_PIPE Say Y here to add a data pipeline register to the on-chip rom. This should be done when the rom is implemenented in (ASIC) gates, or in logic cells on FPGAs. Do not use this option when the rom is implemented in block rams. If enabled, the rom will operate with one waitstate. On-chip ram CONFIG_AHBRAM_ENABLE Say Y here to add a block on on-chip ram to the AHB bus. The ram provides 0-waitstates read access and 0/1 waitstates write access. All AHB burst types are supported, as well as 8-, 16- and 32-bit data size. On-chip ram size CONFIG_AHBRAM_SZ1 Set the size of the on-chip AHB ram. The ram is infered/instantiated as four byte-wide ram slices to allow byte and half-word write accesses. It is therefore essential that the target package can infer byte-wide rams. This is currently supported on the generic, virtex, virtex2, proasic and axellerator targets. On-chip ram address CONFIG_AHBRAM_START Set the start address of AHB RAM (HADDR[31:20]). The RAM will occupy a 1 Mbyte slot at the selected address. Default is A00, corresponding to AHB address 0xA0000000. Gaisler Ethernet MAC enable CONFIG_GRETH_ENABLE Say Y here to enable the Gaisler Research Ethernet MAC . The MAC has one AHB master interface to read and write packets to memory, and one APB slave interface for accessing the control registers. Gaisler Ethernet 1G MAC enable CONFIG_GRETH_GIGA Say Y here to enable the Gaisler Research 1000 Mbit Ethernet MAC . The 1G MAC is only available in the commercial version of GRLIB, so do NOT enable it if you are using the GPL version. CONFIG_GRETH_FIFO4 Set the depth of the receive and transmit FIFOs in the MAC core. The MAC core will perform AHB burst read/writes with half the size of the FIFO depth. CAN interface enable CONFIG_CAN_ENABLE Say Y here to enable the CAN interace from OpenCores. The core has one AHB slave interface for accessing the control registers. The CAN core ir register-compatible with the SAJ1000 core from Philips. CAN register address CONFIG_CANIO The control registers of the CAN core occupy 4 kbyte, and are mapped in the AHB bus I/O area (0xFFF00000 - 0xFFFFF000). This setting defines at which address in the I/O area the registers appear (HADDR[19:8]). CAN interrupt CONFIG_CANIRQ Defines which interrupt number the CAN core will generate. CAN loob-back testing CONFIG_CANLOOP If you say Y here, the receiver and trasmitter of the CAN core will be connected together in a loop-back fashion. This will make it possible to perform loop-back test, but not data will be sent or received from the outside. ONLY for testing! CAN Synchronous reset CONFIG_CAN_SYNCRST If you say Y here, the CAN core will be implemented with synchronous reset rather than asynchronous. This is needed when the target library does not implement registers with async reset. Unless you know what you are doing, say N. CAN FT memories CONFIG_CAN_FT If you say Y here, the CAN FIFOs will be implemented using SEU protected RAM blocks. Only applicable to the FT version of grlib. PCI interface type CONFIG_PCI_SIMPLE_TARGET The target-only PCI interface provides a simple target interface without fifos. It is small and robust, and is suitable to be used for DSU communications via PCI. PCI interface type CONFIG_PCI_MASTER_TARGET The master-target PCI interface provides a high-performance 32-bit PCI interface with configurable FIFOs and optional DMA channel. PCI interface type CONFIG_PCI_MASTER_TARGET_DMA Say Y here to enable a DMA controller in the PCI master-target core. The DMA controller can perform PCI<->memory data transfers independently of the processor. PCI vendor id CONFIG_PCI_VENDORID Sets the PCI vendor ID in the PCI configuration area. PCI device id CONFIG_PCI_DEVICEID Sets the PCI device ID in the PCI configuration area. PCI initiator address CONFIG_PCI_HADDR Sets the MSB AHB adress (HADDR[31:20]) of the PCI initiator area. PCI FIFO depth CONFIG_PCI_FIFO8 The number words in the PCI FIFO buffers in the master-target core. The master interface uses four 33-bit wide FIFOs, while the target interface uses two. PCI arbiter enable CONFIG_PCI_ARBITER To enable a PCI arbiter, say Y here. PCI APB interface enable CONFIG_PCI_ARBITER_APB Say Y here to enable the APB interface on the PCI arbiter. This makes it possible to dynamically re-assign PCI master priorities. See the PCI arbiter manual for details. PCI arbiter request signals CONFIG_PCI_ARBITER_NREQ The number of PCI bus request/grant pairs. Should be not be more than 8. Note that the processor needs one, so the minimum should be 2. PCI trace buffer CONFIG_PCI_TRACE The PCI trace buffer implements a simple on-chip logic analyzer to trace the PCI signals. The PCI AD bus and most control signals are stored in a circular buffer, and can be read out by the DSU or any other AHB master. See the manual for detailed operation. Only available for target technologies with dual-port rams. PCI trace buffer depth CONFIG_PCI_TRACE256 Select the number of entries in the PCI trace buffer. Each entry will use 6 bytes of on-chip (block) ram. Spacewire link CONFIG_SPW_ENABLE Say Y here to enable one or more Spacewire serial links. The links are based on the GRSPW core from Gaisler Research. Number of spacewire links CONFIG_SPW_NUM Select the number of links to implement. Each link will be a separate AHB master and APB slave for configuration. AHB FIFO depth CONFIG_SPW_AHBFIFO4 Select the AHB FIFO depth (in 32-bit words). RX FIFO depth CONFIG_SPW_RXFIFO16 Select the receiver FIFO depth (in bytes). RMAP protocol CONFIG_SPW_RMAP Enable hardware target support for the RMAP protocol ( draft C for GRSPW1 and ECSS-E-ST-50-11C Draft V1.3 for GRSPW2). RMAP Buffer depth CONFIG_SPW_RMAPBUF2 Select the size of the RMAP buffer (in bytes). RMAP CRC CONFIG_SPW_RMAPCRC Enable hardware calculation of the RMAP CRC checksum. RMAP CRC is always enabled when the RMAP hardware target is enabled so this parameter will have no effect in that case. Rx unaligned CONFIG_SPW_RXUNAL Enable support for byte writes used for non word-aligned receiver buffer addresses. Without this enabled data will still be written at the correct location but complete words will always be written so data outside the intended boundaries might be overwritten. Netlists CONFIG_SPW_NETLIST Use the netlist version of GRSPWC. This option is required if you have not licensed the source code of the Spacewire core. Currently only supported for Virtex and Axcelerator FPGAs. The AHB/RX FIFO sizes should be set to 16 word/byte, and the RMAP should be disabled. Spacewire FT CONFIG_SPW_FT Say Y here to implement the Spacewire block rams with fault-tolerance against SEU errors. Spacewire core CONFIG_SPW_GRSPW1 Select to use GRSPW1 core or GRSPW2 core. DMA channels CONFIG_SPW_DMACHAN Set the number of DMA channels for the GRSPW2 core Ports CONFIG_SPW_PORTS Set the number of SpaceWire ports for the GRSPW2 core Same clock for SpaceWire receiver and transmitter CONFIG_SPW_RTSAME Say Y here if the same clock is connected to both the receiver and transmitter in the GRSPW2 core. This will remove two asynchronous resets and some synchronization logic. This is only applicable for the SDR and DDR inputs modes. Receiver clock type CONFIG_SPW_RX_SDR Selects the input clocking scheme for the GRSPW2. SDR means that the core samples data and strobe using single data rate registers at the receiver clock frequency. DDR is the same except DDR registers are used. Xor selects the traditional self clocking scheme using a xor gate. Aeroflex sets the receiver in a mode compatible with the Aeroflex SpaceWire transceiver. Receiver clock type CONFIG_SPW_TX_SDR Selects the output clocking scheme for the GRSPW2. SDR means that the core transmits data and strobe using single data rate registers at the transmitter clock frequency. DDR is the same except DDR registers are used. Aeroflex sets the transmitter in a mode compatible with the Aeroflex SpaceWire transceiver. UART1 enable CONFIG_UART1_ENABLE Say Y here to enable UART1, or the console UART. This is needed to get any print-out from LEON3 systems regardless of operating system. UART1 FIFO CONFIG_UA1_FIFO1 The UART has configurable transmitt and receive FIFO's, which can be set to 1 - 32 bytes. Use 1 for minimum area, or 8 - 32 for maximum throughput. UART2 enable CONFIG_UART2_ENABLE Say Y here to enable UART2, or the secondary UART. This UART can be used to connect a second console (uClinux) or to control external equipment. UART2 FIFO CONFIG_UA2_FIFO1 The UART has configurable transmitt and receive FIFO's, which can be set to 1 - 32 bytes. Use 1 for minimum area, or 8 - 32 for maximum throughput. LEON3 interrupt controller CONFIG_IRQ3_ENABLE Say Y here to enable the LEON3 interrupt controller. This is needed if you want to be able to receive interrupts. Operating systems like Linux, RTEMS and eCos needs this option to be enabled. If you intend to use the Bare-C run-time and not use interrupts, you could disable the interrupt controller and save about 500 gates. LEON3 interrupt controller broadcast CONFIG_IRQ3_BROADCAST_ENABLE If enabled the broadcast register is used to determine which interrupt should be sent to all cpus instead of just the first one that consumes it. Secondary interrupts CONFIG_IRQ3_SEC The interrupt controller handles 15 interrupts by default (1 - 15). These correspond to the 15 SPARC asyncronous traps (0x11 - 0x1F), and AMBA interrupts 1 - 15. This option will enable 16 additional (secondary) interrupts, corresponding to AMBA interrupts 16 - 31. The secondary interrupts will be multiplexed onto one of the first 15 interrupts. The total number of handled interrupts can then be up to 30 (14 primary and 16 secondary). Number of interrupts CONFIG_IRQ3_NSEC Defines which of the first 15 interrupts should be used for the secondary (16 - 31) interrupts. Interrupt 15 should be avoided since it is not maskable by the processor. Timer module enable CONFIG_GPT_ENABLE Say Y here to enable the Modular Timer Unit. The timer unit consists of one common scaler and up to 7 independent timers. The timer unit is needed for Linux, RTEMS, eCos and the Bare-C run-times. Timer module enable CONFIG_GPT_NTIM Set the number of timers in the timer unit (1 - 7). Scaler width CONFIG_GPT_SW Set the width if the common pre-scaler (2 - 16 bits). The scaler is used to divide the system clock down to 1 MHz, so 8 bits should be sufficient for most implementations (allows clocks up to 256 MHz). Timer width CONFIG_GPT_TW Set the width if the timers (2 - 32 bits). 32 bits is recommended for the Bare-C run-time, lower values (e.g. 16 bits) can work with RTEMS and Linux. Timer Interrupt CONFIG_GPT_IRQ Set the interrupt number for the first timer. Remaining timers will have incrementing interrupts, unless the separate-interrupts option below is disabled. Watchdog enable CONFIG_GPT_WDOGEN Say Y here to enable the watchdog functionality in the timer unit. Watchdog time-out value CONFIG_GPT_WDOG This value will be loaded in the watchdog timer at reset. GPIO port CONFIG_GRGPIO_ENABLE Say Y here to enable a general purpose I/O port. The port can be configured from 1 - 32 bits, whith each port signal individually programmable as input or output. The port signals can also serve as interrupt inputs. GPIO port witdth CONFIG_GRGPIO_WIDTH Number of bits in the I/O port. Must be in the range of 1 - 32. GPIO interrupt mask CONFIG_GRGPIO_IMASK The I/O port interrupt mask defines which bits in the I/O port should be able to create an interrupt. UART debugging CONFIG_DEBUG_UART During simulation, the output from the UARTs is printed on the simulator console. Since the ratio between the system clock and UART baud-rate is quite high, simulating UART output will be very slow. If you say Y here, the UARTs will print a character as soon as it is stored in the transmitter data register. The transmitter ready flag will be permanently set, speeding up simulation. However, the output on the UART tx line will be garbled. Has not impact on synthesis, but will cause the LEON test bench to fail. FPU register tracing CONFIG_DEBUG_FPURF If you say Y here, all writes to the floating-point unit register file will be printed on the simulator console.
