Debugging BOOM
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the default debugging techniques specified in :ref:`Debugging RTL`,
|
||||
single-core BOOM designs can utilize the Dromajo co-simulator (see :ref:`Dromajo`)
|
||||
to verify functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning:: Dromajo currently only works in single-core BOOM systems without accelerators.
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning:: Dromajo currently only works in VCS simulation and FireSim.
|
||||
|
||||
Setting up Dromajo Co-simulation
|
||||
--------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Dromajo co-simulation is setup to work when two config fragments are added to a BOOM config.
|
||||
First, a ``chipyard.config.WithTraceIO`` config fragment must be added so that BOOM's traceport is enabled.
|
||||
Second, a ``chipyard.iobinders.WithSimDromajoBridge`` config fragment must be added to
|
||||
connect the Dromajo co-simulator to the traceport.
|
||||
Once both config fragments are added Dromajo should be enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
To build/run Dromajo with a BOOM design, run your configuration the following make commands:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: shell
|
||||
|
||||
# build the default Dromajo BOOM config without waveform dumps
|
||||
# replace "DromajoBoomConfig" with your particular config
|
||||
make CONFIG=DromajoBoomConfig ENABLE_DROMAJO=1
|
||||
|
||||
# run a simulation with Dromajo
|
||||
make CONFIG=DromajoBoomConfig ENABLE_DROMAJO=1 BINARY=<YOUR-BIN> run-binary
