Assignment1
Running the sample application with script files
- The runcp script located in the SampleAppVadd can be used to run the application in HW which sets the appropriate environment variables and runs the UserApp.exe export CNY_PDK_PROJ = ~/pdk_sample/cae_pers_vadd ./runcp
- The run script located in the SampleAppVadd can be used to run the application in SW
- The scripts above can be used to run the application on Simulator using the "-vsim" option which sets the environment variable CNY_CAE_EMULATOR to ./run_simulation ./runcp -vsim or ./run -vsim
| Environment Variables | Software | ModelSim | Hardware |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNY_SIM_THREAD | libcpSimLib2.so | libcpSimLib2.so | unset |
| CNY_CAE_EMULATOR | <location for CaeSimPers> | ./run_simulation | unset |
Changes made to run the application on ModelSim
- Setup as explained in here [[1]]
- Set the CNY_PDK_PROJ environment variable to the location of cae_pers_vadd export CNY_PDK_PROJ = ~/pdk_sample/cae_pers_vadd
- Copied Jones' my_makefile from the temp dir and replaced the makefile in CY_PDK_PROJ/testbench
- Add line to the makefile in testbench dir CNY_PDK_MODELSIM_USER_SIM_OPTIONS= -i -do "run -all"
- Modify the values of LIB_DIR and LDFLAGS from 32-bit to 64-bit as given below LIB_DIR = lib64 LDFLAGS = -m64
Extra Credit: Invoking gdb
- We can invoke gdb using the gdb <programname> command or by using the run/runcp script files in with "-gdb" option gdb UserApp.exe or ./run -gdb
- One can find different command classes on gdb by typing help.To get details on a particular command class/command, type help on gdb followed by the name of the command class/command
- We explored some commands like run, start (to begin execution), stepi (for single instruction stepping into a file), kill (kill a running program) and quit on gdb
