| andrzejr_ | strange, enabling caching is very fragile (in HW) but once I've managed to do the memory works just fine. | 00:07 |

| maxpaln | stekern: aha - as long as they are known failures that is ok with me. It looks like I now have my known good starting point! | 09:12 |
| maxpaln | In case anyone needs this in the future, I wrote down all the steps I followed to get to this point from my vanilla windows 8 machine - i.e. from the point of downloading VirtualBox and installing Ubuntu. It is here: http://pastie.org/private/o5cgefnh5x5n6jpj0okhig | 10:23 |

| maxpaln | olofk: just reading back over our conversations on the irc logs and saw this from you a few days ago: | 12:55 |
| maxpaln | "Hey, that's cheating! Everyone is supposed to keep the instructions in their heads. No guides are allowed" | 12:55 |
| maxpaln | I guess actually reading the IRC logs already broke that rule - writing everything down is probably enough to get me disbarred :-) | 12:56 |
| maxpaln | [thinks to self: maybe that's why no one is replying... | 14:21 |
| maxpaln | ] | 14:21 |
| stekern | ;) | 15:09 |
| stekern | we're all busy watching little britain | 15:11 |
| maxpaln | :-) | 15:45 |
| maxpaln | I'm new to icarus so I'm not really sure how to solve this problem - for other simulators you can have a technology library (a precompiled list of files that contain primitives like OR gates and so on) - for Verilog libraries they get referenced via -L options to the simulator command usually. Does the same capability exist for icarus? If so, where are the libraries stored? | 15:48 |
| maxpaln | looking at the documentation the closest would be to reference the directory containing the primitives as a -Y option. Straight forward enough but I am not sure fusesoc has a place in the .core file for library directories. I can't see it in the examples so far... | 15:53 |
| andrzejr_ | maxpaln, fusesoc's icarus backend doesn't use the -Y option. It simply writes all source files to icarus.scr and starts iverilog with -c icarus.scr | 18:57 |
| andrzejr_ | you can add some libraries manually via <core>.core file, e.g.: | 18:59 |
| andrzejr_ | [icarus] | 18:59 |
| andrzejr_ | iverilog_options = -DICARUS_SIM -DSIM -y /opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE/verilog/src -y /opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE/verilog/src/unisims | 18:59 |
| -!- orsonmmz is now known as orsonmmz|away | 19:20 | |
| olofk | maxpaln: These are good instructions to have around. Might clean up and put on a website if you don't mind | 19:44 |
| olofk | andrzejr_, maxpaln: FuseSoC now allows environment variables in the .core file, so you should hopefully be able to do $XILINX/verilog/src to make it a bit less dependant on installation directories | 19:46 |
| andrzejr_ | I spent several hours setting up simulation (xsim, with ddr2 model and no elf-loader etc) trying to replicate an "issue" with enabling the cache in HW. The symptom I was seeing in HW was that the program appeared to be stuck in _cache_init | 22:05 |
| andrzejr_ | it turned out that the test runs succesfully but there is no any halt or loop at the end, so it continues to the next portion of the program, which is happens to be _cache_init :-) | 22:07 |
| andrzejr_ | is or1k-tests even meant to be used in HW? it would be good to have success&fail subroutines which e.g. light an LED | 22:08 |
| andrzejr_ | olofk, so everything I was writing about cache *yesterday* is invalid. So far, cache works just fine in simulation and hardware. | 22:10 |
| andrzejr_ | The issue with 128b cache line size is different and is real, I think. | 22:11 |
