|
## Using Chipyard
|
|
|
|
To get started using Chipyard, see the documentation on the Chipyard documentation site: https://chipyard.readthedocs.io/
|
|
|
|
## What is Chipyard
|
|
|
|
Chipyard is an open source framework for agile development of Chisel-based Systems-on-Chip.
|
|
It will allow you to leverage the Chisel HDL, Rocket Chip SoC generator, and other [Berkeley][berkeley] projects to produce a [RISC-V][riscv] SoC with everything from MMIO-mapped peripherals to custom accelerators.
|
|
Chipyard contains processor cores ([Rocket][rocket-chip], [BOOM][boom]), accelerators ([Hwacha][hwacha]), memory systems, and additional peripherals and tooling to help create a full featured SoC.
|
|
Chipyard supports multiple conccurent flows of agile hardware development, including software RTL simulaiton, FPGA-accelerated simulation ([FireSim][firesim]), automated VLSI flows ([Hammer][hammer]), and software workload generation for bare-metal and Linux-based systems ([FireMarshal][firemarshal]).
|
|
Chipyard is actively developed in the [Berkeley Architecture Research Group][ucb-bar] in the [Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences Department][eecs] at the [University of California, Berkeley][berkeley].
