This is the repository for the labs in CIS 371 Spring 2018.

The Makefile that does all the real work. Each lab's Makefile (e.g., lab1/Makefile) defines variables that are used by vivado.mk to run synthesis, implementation, simulation, etc as needed for that lab. Not all labs support all possible targets. E.g., some labs are synthesis- and simulation-only because they don't connect to any ZedBoard I/O pins. Other labs do use these pins to interact with the outside world and thus support implementation.

A copy of the PennSim simulator for CIS 240. Used to assemble LC4 code into a .hex file representation that can be loaded into a Verilog memory.

The "first-stage boot loader" for the ZedBoard. This executable will program the FPGA on power-up via a bitstream stored on an SD Card. Useful for programming the FPGA without direct access to Vivado. Note that the ZedBoard's jumpers must be set appropriately:

• MIO 6: set to GND
• MIO 5: set to 3V3
• MIO 4: set to 3V3
• MIO 3: set to GND
• MIO 2: set to GND
• VADJ Select (J18): Set to 1V8
• JP6: shorted
• JP2: shorted
• All other jumpers should be left unshorted.

common/tcl/build.tcl Tcl script for Vivado batch mode to perform synthesis, and optionally implementation, for a lab.

common/tcl/debug.tcl Tcl script for Vivado GUI mode to launch the Vivado debugger on the testbench for a lab.

common/tcl/program.tcl Tcl script for Vivado batch mode to program an FPGA attached to the local computer.

The master list of the physical pins on the ZedBoard, along with their functionalities and required voltages. Used as a reference to create constraint files for each lab.
