DiBU: DIgilent Based Unit

DiBU is a processor designed from the grounds up, with it's own ISA, designed to run on an FGPA board. This repo follows the following folder structure:

  • constraints: Constraint files to program DiBU into FPGAs.
  • dibu: Python package where some utils are located, such as the micro-program generator.
  • dibuparser: Python package with the parser and assembler code.
  • programs: Collection of programs programmed in dibu-assembler.
  • rtl: VHDL (Verilog) implementation of DiBU.
  • rlt_tests: Cocotb tests of all DiBU components, and the complete assembly of them. The most interesting test benches are in test_datapath.py.
  • tests: Python tests for the parser and assemble code.

Installation

sudo apt-get install python3.10 libpython3.10 python-setuptools 
python3.10 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

# update apt deps
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install verilog

# install gtkwave for debugging waveforms
sudo apt-get install gtkwave

Testing

For all the commands below, first the virtual env needs to be activated by running source env/bin/activate. Also, all commands should be run the following from the repo root.

# test parser and assembler programs
make test

# test rtl
make test-rtl

Assemble a program

Command should be run from repo root.

python -m dibuparser.parser --file programs/simon.s --outfile rtl/simon.mem --macros
