# RISCV-VP
An instruction set simulator based on DBT-RISE implementing the RISC-V ISA. The project is hosted at https://git.minres.com/VP/RISCV-VP.
**RISCV-VP README**
This is work in progress, so use at your own risk. Goal is to implement an open-source ISS which can easily embedded e.g. into SystemC Virtual Prototypes. It uses code generation to allow easy extension and adaptation of the used instruction. Please see also [https://git.minres.com/DBT-RISE/DBT-RISE-RISCV](https://git.minres.com/DBT-RISE/DBT-RISE-RISCV)
The RISC-V ISS reaches about 65MIPS running on a decent Intel Processor.
The implementation is based on LLVM > v4.0. Eclipse CDT 4.7 (Oxygen) is recommended as IDE.
RISCV-VP uses libGIS (https://github.com/vsergeev/libGIS) as well as ELFIO (http://elfio.sourceforge.net/), both under MIT license
**Quick start**
* you need to have a C++11 capable compiler (e.g. gcc >= 4.8), make, python, and cmake installed
* install LLVM >= 4.0 according to http://apt.llvm.org/ (if it is not already provided by your distribution e.g by Ubuntu 18.04)
* install conan.io (see also http://docs.conan.io/en/latest/installation.html):
```
pip install conan
```
* setup conan to use the minres repo:
```
conan profile new default --detect --force
conan profile update settings.compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11 default
conan remote add minres https://artifactory.minres.com/artifactory/api/conan/oss"
```
* if you encounter issues when linking wrt. c++11 symbols you might have run into GCC ABI incompatibility introduced from GCC 5.0 onwards. You can fix this by adding '-s compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11' to the conan call or changing compiler.libcxx to
```
compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11
```
in $HOME/.conan/profiles/default
**Detailed Setup steps**
***prepare Ubuntu 18.04/20.04***
```
sudo apt-get install -y git python3-pip build-essential cmake libloki-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev \
libboost-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-thread-dev llvm-dev llvm-doc
pip3 install --user conan
```
***prepare Fedora 28***
```
#prepare system
dnf install @development-tools gcc-c++ boost-devel zlib-devel loki-lib-devel cmake python2 python3 llvm-devel llvm-static
#install conan
pip3 install --user conan
export PATH=${PATH}:$HOME/.local/bin
```
***Build the ISS***
```
# checkout source from git:
git clone --recursive https://git.minres.com/VP/HIFIVE1-VP.git
# build ISS:
cd HIFIVE1-VP
mkdir build;cd build
MAKE_FLAGS="-j4" cmake ..
make -j4
```
