This is the repository for the Foundations of Embedded Systems online tutorials, comprising the University of Cambridge Department of Engineering GB3: RISC-V Processor Design IIA (3rd year undergraduate) project and the University of Cambridge Department of Engineering 4B25: Embedded Systems IIB (4th year / M.Sc.) course.
The project is organized and run by the Physical Computation Laboratory. This repository includes several other repositories as git submodules, including the Sunflower processor emulator (RISC-V and SuperH), the Narvie RISC-V read-eval-print-loop (REPL) for interactive instruction emulation on the iCE40 FPGA, and the yosys, ArachnePNR, and NextPNR tools.
The correct way to clone this repository to get the hardware and firmware submodules is:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/f-of-e/f-of-e-tools.git
To update all submodules
git pull --recurse-submodules
git submodule update --remote --recursive
If you forgot to clone with --recursive, and end up with empty submodule directories, you can remedy this with
git submodule update --init --recursive
Checkout master branch and take each submodule out of the "Detached HEAD" state:
git submodule foreach git checkout masterThis project is developed with support from a 2019 Technology-Enabled Learning Pilot (TELP) award in cooperation with Cambridge University Press and by a 2017 Teaching and Learning Innovation Fund (TLIF) award from the Cambridge Center for Teaching and Learning.
