|
|-- matmul:
|    |   HDL (VHDL) matrix multiplication core for the FOFB Controller.
|    |
|    |-- modules:
|    |        Modules specific to matrix multiplication core.
|    |
|    |-- sim:
|    |        Generic simulation files.
|    |
|    |-- syn:
|    |        Synthesis specific files (user constraints files and top design
|    |          specification).
|    |
|    |-- testbench:
|    |        Testbenches for modules and top level designs. May use modules
|    |          defined elsewhere (specific within the 'sim" directory).

git clone git://github.com/melissa-aguiar/Sandbox.git

git clone git@github.com:melissa-aguiar/Sandbox.git

git submodule init
git submodule update

To update each submodule within this project use:

git submodule foreach git rebase origin master

Simulation Instructions

Go to a testbench directory. It must have a top manifest file:

cd matmul/testbench

Run the following commands. You must have hdlmake command available in your PATH environment variable.

Create the simualation makefile

hdlmake

Compile the project

make

Execute the simulation with GUI and aditional commands

vsim -do run.do &

Synthesis Instructions

Go to a syn directory. It must have a synthesis manifest file:

cd matmul/syn

Run the following commands. You must have hdlmake command available in your PATH environment variable.

./build_bitstream_local.sh
