NOEL-XCKU

The NOEL-V RISC-V processor and the GRLIB IP library have support for AMD/Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale devices. We provide prebuilt bitstreams of the Xilinx Kintex UltraScale FPGA KCU105 Evaluation Kit. These bitstreams are intended for evaluation of software running on a NOEL-V RISC-V SoC.

The IP library support consists of a techmap layer that wraps specific technology elements such as memory macros and pads. GRLIB also contains template designs for developments boards such as the AMD/Xilinx Kintex UltraScale FPGA KCU105 Evaluation Kit and infrastructure that automatically builds project files for AMD/Xilinx Vivado and synthesis tools such as Mentor Precision Hi-Rel and Synopsys Synplify Premier. More information about GRLIB and our IP cores is available on the SoC library page.

To evaluate the example bitfiles the following items are required:

• AMD/Xilinx Kintex UltraScale FPGA KCU105 Evaluation Kit
• Workstation with GNU/Linux or Microsoft Windows
• AMD/Xilinx software to program FPGA
• Bitstream, available further down on this page
• GRMON debug monitor - GRMON evaluation version (3.2.16 or later is required)
