leros-dev/leros: A Tiny Processor Core

An FPGA optimized tiny processor core for embedded systems. See more documentation on the website for Leros.

This repository contains two versions of Leros: the initial 16-bit version in VHDL and the redesign of 16/32/64-bit version in Chisel. The two versions are in the same spirit, but not compatible. The initial version exposes the pipeline to the programmer. The initial version is supported by a small Java runtime (muvium).

The new version is pipeline agnostic and also has a slightly different ISA. The new version is supported by a C compiler (LLVM port.)

Note that this project includes a submodule. Therefore, you need to update with:

git submodule init
git submodule update

The tests are in the asm/test directory. The tests are written in ScalaTest and run with the SBT build tool. To run the tests, use:

or use make

The assembler tests are written to exit with 1 in the accumulator if they pass.

See also TODO.md.

• Is load immediate sign extending? Is the high form sign extending?
  • Yes, it is. Needs tests and documentation.
• What else is sign extending?
• byte order:
  • Morten's simulator (and presumable compiler) is little-endian
  • Martin's ISA simulator is little-endian (not yet)
  • Patmos is probably big-endian
  • Internet is big-endian
  • RISC-V is little-endian

Pipeline discussion:

• Maybe decoding and sign extension into fetch
• Play around with the pipeline registers when (1) more complete ALU and (2) longer programs (= block RAM)
• Several different pipeline organizations might be interesting

We target a very high fmax in an FPGA to compensate for the more instructions execute.

Initial measurement on DE2-115 with almost no function and debug output (e.g., accu) in registers: 184 MHz. Could be better.
