Bluespec SystemVerilog の例題の中を調べる(その1)

はじめに

Bluespec SystemVerilogの例題の中を調べてみるシリーズの(その1)

例題

smoke_test という例題の中を調べます。

FibOne.bsv のコードは、下記のような感じになっています。

(* synthesize *)
module mkFibOne();
   // register containing the current Fibonacci value
   Reg#(int) this_fib();              // interface instantiation
   mkReg#(0) this_fib_inst(this_fib); // module instantiation
   // register containing the next Fibonacci value
   Reg#(int) next_fib();
   mkReg#(1) next_fib_inst(next_fib);

   rule fib;  // predicate condition always true, so omitted
      this_fib <= next_fib;
      next_fib <= this_fib + next_fib;  // note that this uses stale this_fib
      $display("%0d", this_fib);
      if ( this_fib > 10000 ) $finish(0) ;
  endrule: fib
endmodule: mkFibOne

このコードを使います。

SMOKENAME = FibOne

  • smoke_test_bluesim : Bluespec Simulator
  • smoke_test_verilog : Verilog HDL Simulator

の2つのターゲットがあるようです。

Bluespec Simulator を実行

make smoke_test_bluesim

Checking bsc compiles
bsc -no-show-timestamps -no-show-version -sim FibOne.bsv
Elaborated module file created: mkFibOne.ba

Checking compile for Bluespec simulator
bsc -no-show-timestamps -no-show-version -sim -o mkFibOne.bexe -e mkFibOne mkFibOne.ba
Bluesim object created: mkFibOne.{h,o}
Bluesim object created: model_mkFibOne.{h,o}
Simulation shared library created: mkFibOne.bexe.so
Simulation executable created: mkFibOne.bexe
./mkFibOne.bexe > smoke_test_bluesim.out

Comparing result of Bluespec Simulation
diff mkFibOne.out.expected smoke_test_bluesim.out

Bluespec's Bluesim looks OK

生成されたファイルを確認します。

ls
FibOne.bo   mkFibOne.ba       mkFibOne.cxx  mkFibOne.out.expected  model_mkFibOne.o
FibOne.bsv  mkFibOne.bexe     mkFibOne.h    model_mkFibOne.cxx     smoke_test_bluesim.out
Makefile    mkFibOne.bexe.so  mkFibOne.o    model_mkFibOne.h

下記が生成されたファイルで、

  • FibOne.bo
  • mkFibOne.ba
  • mkFibOne.cxx
  • mkFibOne.bexe
  • mkFibOne.h
  • mkFibOne.bexe.so
  • mkFibOne.o
  • model_mkFibOne.o
  • model_mkFibOne.cxx
  • model_mkFibOne.h
  • smoke_test_bluesim.out

bscコマンドを実行してみたら、下記のようなファイルが生成されました。

bsc -no-show-timestamps -no-show-version -sim FibOne.bsv
  • FibOne.bo
  • mkFibOne.ba

2番目のbscコマンドを実行したら、mkFibOne.ba から下記のようなファイルが生成されました。

bsc -no-show-timestamps -no-show-version -sim -o mkFibOne.bexe -e mkFibOne mkFibOne.ba
  • mkFibOne.cxx
  • mkFibOne.bexe
  • mkFibOne.h
  • mkFibOne.bexe.so
  • mkFibOne.o
  • model_mkFibOne.o
  • model_mkFibOne.cxx
  • model_mkFibOne.h

最後はプログラムを実行

./mkFibOne.bexe > smoke_test_bluesim.out
  • smoke_test_bluesim.out

が生成され、mkFibOne.out.expected と diff コマンドで比較しています。

mkFibOne.bexe

mkFibOne.bexe は、シェルスクリプトです。中でbluetcl を実行しています。

#!/bin/sh

BLUESPECDIR=`echo 'puts $env(BLUESPECDIR)' | bluetcl`

for arg in $@
do
  if (test "$arg" = "-h")
  then
    exec $BLUESPECDIR/tcllib/bluespec/bluesim.tcl $0.so mkFibOne --script_name `basename $0` -h
  fi
done
exec $BLUESPECDIR/tcllib/bluespec/bluesim.tcl $0.so mkFibOne --script_name `basename $0` "$@"

mkFibOne.bexe を -h オプションで実行してみる。

./mkFibOne.bexe -h
Usage: mkFibOne.bexe [opts]

Options:
  -c <commands> = execute commands given as an argument
  -f <file>     = execute script from file
  -h            = print help and exit
  -m <N>        = execute for N cycles
  -v            = print version information and exit
  -V [<file>]   = dump waveforms to VCD file (default: dump.vcd)
  +<arg>        = Verilog-style plus-arg

Examples:
  mkFibOne.bexe
  mkFibOne.bexe -c 'sim step 40; puts [sim time]'
  mkFibOne.bexe -f sim_cmds.tcl
  mkFibOne.bexe -m 3000
  mkFibOne.bexe -V sim.vcd
  mkFibOne.bexe +doFoo
  • mkFibOne.bexe : 最後まで実行する
  • mkFibOne.bexe -c 'sim step 40; puts [sim time]' : -c オプションでコマンドを指定する。コマンドは、''で囲む
  • mkFibOne.bexe -f sim_cmds.tcl : コマンドをファイルにストアして、-f オプションでそのファイルを指定する
  • mkFibOne.bexe -m 3000 : -m オプションにて実行するサイクルを指定する
  • mkFibOne.bexe -V sim.vcd : -V オプションで VCD dump するファイルを指定する
  • mkFibOne.bexe +doFoo : Verilog HDLスタイルの +オプション
