TGC VP

Virtual platform modeling TGC based systems

TGC-VP is a virtual platform built around a TGC core. It allows a fast and easy entry into the world of TGC-Core-Family series. Furthermore, this system is a good starting point for building any RISC-V based VP system.

Besides the ISS, TGC-VP provides an always on module, plic and clic interrupt controllers, gpio, qspi, an UART terminal and several other peripherals.

Most peripherals are imported from the VPV-Per library. VPV-Per is an open-source library that provides SystemC/TLM2 implementation examples of peripherals for various SoCs.

A generic router model and the memories are parts of the SystemC-Components-Library

More details and initial setup of the TGC-VP was shown at a Meetup of the RISC-V Duisburg Group:

SCVIEWER

SCV Transaction trace and VCD waveform viewer

SCViewer is a simple tool to display VCD and transaction streams created by the SystemC VCD trace implementation and the SystemC Verification Library (SCV). The viewer has the following features

  • support of VCD files (compressed and uncompressed)
    – real numbers
    – showing vectors and real numbers as analog (step-wise & continuous)
    – various value representations of bit vectors
  • support of SCV transaction recordings in various formats
    – text log files (compressed and uncompressed)
    – visualization of transaction relations

SCViewer is available as standalone version and can be downloaded at Github.

It can also be installed into an Eclipse application by using the update site at https://minres.github.io/SCViewer/repository.

Please note that this is work in progress
