ESP simple configuration with leon3 and no caches problem

[yyhanafy]

Hi,

Just installed ESP with Xilinx and Modelsim, and tried the simplest configuration with Leon3 and no caches. I skipped the make llc-hls and l2c-hls as indicated in the tutorial, since I am not using an L2 or an LLC (I did that because I do NOT have a license for stratus, only Vivado and Modelsim!!). When I tried to simulate, I got the following error

root@b4816a239ac5:/home/espuser/esp/socs/xilinx-vc707-xc7vx485t$ make sim DIFF checking .esp_config... INFO Using custom configuration found in ".esp_config" for ESP

Hi,

I see an error related to the Vivado installation path. Did you set the vivado installation path in the current shell ?

With Regards

Thank you biRuk,

I fixed this small issue, now to the bigger ones, is there anyway to avoid using modelsim? I am having problems with getting licenses for both modelsim, catapult and stratus. The only license I was able to get is Vivado coming with the VC709 Virtex 7 connectivity kit. My 3 questions would be

1. Vivado comes with a simulator, how do we adjust the code to use it instead of modelsim?
2. Can we switch Catapult HLS and Stratus HL with Vivado HLS and how do we do that?
3. How do we configure ESP to use the VC709 Virtex-7 connectivity kit as the hardware platform?

Thank you

Hi yyhanafy,

1. Vivado comes with a simulator, how do we adjust the code to use it instead of modelsim? --> I haven't tried the simulator comes with Vivado, maybe you can try to change the options in "project.tcl"?
2. Can we switch Catapult HLS and Stratus HL with Vivado HLS and how do we do that? --> Yes, please refer to the guide How to: design an accelerator in C/C++ (Xilinx Vivado HLS)
3. How do we configure ESP to use the VC709 Virtex-7 connectivity kit as the hardware platform? --> We don't support vc709 for now. I think you may need to check and remap the pins.
