wrHDL编译中软核代码初始化及编译耗时长的问题
问题的提出
整个WR的ISE工程比较大，编译时间很长，导致开发效率低。通过分析发现，ISE在综合的时候大量的时间都花在了初始化DPRAM上。调研发现Xilinx提供了BMM文件和DATA2MEM工具，可以将软核CPU的运行代码在HDL综合完后再与bit文件合并，这样可以节约大量的编译时间。但是在wr工程中使用这些工具的时候出现了错误，软核的代码并没有被成功初始化。
原始代码分析
具体编译wr工程的时候发现，代码ip_cores/general-cores/modules/wishbone/wb_dpram/xwb_dpram.vhd中存在对有无RAM初始化文件进行判断，进而采用了不同的调用DPRAM的方法。
其具体实现如下：
GEN_INITF: if g_init_file /= "" and g_init_file /= "none" generate
U_DPRAM : generic_dpram
generic map(
-- standard parameters
g_data_width => ,
g_size => g_size,
g_with_byte_enable => true,
g_addr_conflict_resolution => "dont_care",
g_init_file => g_init_file,
g_dual_clock => false
)
port map(
rst_n_i => rst_n_i,
-- Port A
clka_i => clk_sys_i,
bwea_i => s_bwea,
wea_i => s_wea,
aa_i => slave1_in.adr(f_log2_size(g_size)- downto ),
da_i => slave1_in.dat,
qa_o => slave1_out.dat,
-- Port B
clkb_i => clk_sys_i,
bweb_i => s_bweb,
web_i => s_web,
ab_i => slave2_in.adr(f_log2_size(g_size)- downto ),
db_i => slave2_in.dat,
qb_o => slave2_out.dat
);
end generate; GEN_NO_INITF: if g_init_file = "" or g_init_file = "none" generate
GEN_BYTESEL: for i in to generate
U_DPRAM: generic_dpram
generic map(
g_data_width => ,
g_size => g_size,
g_with_byte_enable => false,
g_addr_conflict_resolution => "dont_care",
g_init_file => "",
g_dual_clock => false)
port map(
rst_n_i => rst_n_i,
-- Port A
clka_i => clk_sys_i,
wea_i => s_bwea(i),
aa_i => slave1_in.adr(f_log2_size(g_size)- downto ),
da_i => slave1_in.dat((i+)*- downto i*),
qa_o => slave1_out.dat((i+)*- downto i*),
-- Port B
clkb_i => clk_sys_i,
web_i => s_bweb(i),
ab_i => slave2_in.adr(f_log2_size(g_size)- downto ),
db_i => slave2_in.dat((i+)*- downto i*),
qb_o => slave2_out.dat((i+)*- downto i*)
);
end generate;
end generate;
当GEN_NO_INITF的时候，原作者采用了一个很取巧的办法来避免ise综合出来block ram的同时生成大量的mux(LUT5)，但此时综合出来RAM模块的形式是1bit(数据位）*16K.
而如果要用BMM的方式来对RAM进行初始化，我们想要的RAM模块的形式是32bit*512. GEN_INITF这部分代码综合出来的结果满足需求。
对于SPEC板而言，他们采用的是PCIe的方法来upload软核的初始化代码，所以他们可以使用他们预先定义的办法来使得elf的文件格式满足前述要求（实际不需要额外的工作即可满足，因为他们是用wishbone总线直接烧写进去的）。
而如果是初始化ram文件，或者采用BMM的方法初始化文件，1bit(数据位）*16K形式的RAM会导致软核代码错误，软核无法工作。
问题结论
为了在cute上面能够更快速的编译，采用无RAM的方式，所以需要将判断语句及GEN_NO_INITF部分的代码全都注释掉。
另外，附上注释后cute的bmm文件,在工程项目中加入bmm文件后会随着工程的编译生成*_bd.bmm文件，之后使用data2mem工具将elf文件和bit文件进行合并。
data2mem -bm ../../elf/cutewr_bd.bmm -bd ../../elf/wrc.elf -bt cutewr.bit -o b cutewr_wrc.bit
/* FILE : cutewr.bmm
