## Hardware RTL Sources
|
|
|
|
|
|
### [`core`](https://github.com/stnolting/neorv32/tree/main/rtl/core)
|
|
|
|
This folder contains the core VHDL files for the NEORV32 CPU and the NEORV32 Processor.
|
|
When creating a new synthesis/simulation project make sure that all `*.vhd` files from this folder are added to a
|
|
*new design library* called `neorv32`.
|
|
|
|
:warning: The sub-folder [`core/mem`](https://github.com/stnolting/neorv32/tree/main/rtl/core/mem)
|
|
contains the _platform-agnostic_ VHDL architectures of the processor-internal memories.
|
|
You can _replace_ inclusion of these files by platform-optimized memory architectures.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### [`processor_templates`](https://github.com/stnolting/neorv32/tree/main/rtl/processor_templates)
|
|
|
|
Contains pre-configured "SoC" templates that instantiate the processor's top entity from `core`.
|
|
These templates can be instantiated directly within a FPGA-specific board wrapper.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### [`system_integration`](https://github.com/stnolting/neorv32/tree/main/rtl/system_integration)
|
|
|
|
Top entities in this folder provide the same peripheral/IO signals and configuration generics as the default
|
|
processor top entity from `core`, but feature a different interface type.
|
|
For example: an **AXI4-Lite**-compatible bus interface instead of the default Wishbone bus interface
|
|
or a top entity with _resolved_ port signal types.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### [`test_setups`](https://github.com/stnolting/neorv32/tree/main/rtl/test_setups)
|
|
|
|
Minimal test setups (FPGA- and board-independent) for the processor. See the
|
|
[README](https://github.com/stnolting/neorv32/tree/main/rtl/test_setups)
|
|
in that folder for more information. Note that these test setups are used in the
|
|
[NEORV32 USer Guide](https://stnolting.github.io/neorv32/ug).
