OpenRISC 1000: VMware image Complete SoC development environment now available at OpenCores OpenCores is pleased to announce the release of a solution aimed at lowering the technical threshold of development with the open-source OpenRISC processor. Using a VMWare virtual machine pre-configured with the necessary tools, it is now even simpler to start integrating proprietary IP, or license-fee free IP from OpenCores, with the world's most used open-source processor, the OpenRISC 1200. Now available at OpenCores is a "Virtual Ubuntu Linux" installation which installs and configures a VMWare virtual machine. It includes all of the tools necessary to start hardware and software development on a OpenRISC platform. It comes with an OpenRISC SoC reference design along with the following development tools: * Icarus Verilog simulator * GTKWave waveform viewer * Software tool-chain based on gcc-4.2.2 with uClibc-0.9.29 * Support for Busybox-1.7.5 and Linux-2.6.19 * The OpenRISC architectural simulator This package provides simplicity, ease of use, and is a great leap forward for new developers who decide to base their designs on OpenCores IP. How to install the OC-image 1. Download “VMware Player” or “VMware Server” from VMware’s website (http://www.vmware.com). Follow their installation guide. 2. Download the OC-image (~200Mbyte) here. 3. Extract the bz2-file into a suitable location on your hard drive. You might have to install an additional program that can extract the bz2-file. 4. Start the VMware application and choose “Open a virtual machine”. Browse and choose the OC-image”. 5. The OC-image is now started and it contains an Ubuntu-Server installation. Login with the following information: User-ID: ocuser Password: oc Note that the “sudo” password is also “oc”! 6. Now type “sudo ./get_install.sh” This command will upgrade the Ubuntu to a “Desktop”-version and download all the necessary files for building the OR1200-processor toolchain. This will take some time depending on your ethernet- and computer speed, so I suggest that you take a coffee break :-) 7. After the installation is ready then the Ubuntu-system is rebooted. Use the same login-info as before. You might want to adjust the screen-resolution so that it fits your. 8. Test the installation by starting a Verilog simulation of the OpenRISC reference design using Icarus simulator and GTKwave viewer. Open a “terminal-window” and then type “cd Desktop/OR1200_ref_design” and then start the simulation by typing “./start_sim.sh”. More details about the “OR1200 reference design” can be found in the README-file located in “~/Desktop/OR1200_ref_design/” directory. If your have any problem, let us know at oc-team@o...
