OpenFPGA Task
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Tasks provide a framework for running the :ref:`run_fpga_flow` on
|
|
multiple benchmarks, architectures and set of OpenFPGA parameters.
|
|
The structure of the framework is very similar to
|
|
`VTR-Tasks <https://docs.verilogtorouting.org/en/latest/vtr/tasks/>`_
|
|
implementation with additional functionality and minor file extention changes.
|
|
|
|
Task Directory
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The tasks are store in a ``TASK_DIRECTORY``, which by default points to
|
|
``${OPENFPGA_PATH}/openfpga_flow/tasks``. Every directory or sub-directory in
|
|
task directory consisting of ``../config/task.conf`` file can be reffered as a
|
|
task.
|
|
|
|
To create as task name called ``basic_flow`` following directory has to exist::
|
|
|
|
${TASK_DIRECTORY}/basic_flow/conf/task.conf
|
|
|
|
Similarly ``regression/regression_quick`` expect following structure::
|
|
|
|
${TASK_DIRECTORY}/regression/regression_quick/conf/task.conf
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running OpenFPGA Task:
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
At a minimum ``open_fpga_flow.py`` requires following command-line arguments::
|
|
|
|
open_fpga_flow.py <task1_name> <task2_name> ...
|
|
|
|
where:
|
|
|
|
* ``<task_name>`` is the name of the task to run
|
|
|
|
|
|
Craeating A New OpenFPGA Task:
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Create the folder ``${TASK_DIRECTORY}/<task_name>`` and create a file called
|
|
``${TASK_DIRECTORY}/<task_name>/config/task.conf`` in it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuring a New Task
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The task configuration file ``task.conf`` consists of ``GENERAL``,
|
|
``ARCHITECTURES``, ``BENCHMARKS``, ``SYNTHESIS_PARAM`` and
|
|
``SCRIPT_PARAM_<var_name>`` sections.
|
|
Declaring all the above sections are mandatory.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Configuration file supports all the OpenFPGA Variables refer
|
|
:ref:`openfpga-variables` section to know more. Variables in configuration
|
|
file is declares as ``${PATH:<variable_name>}``
|
|
|
|
General Section
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
.. option:: fpga_flow==<yosys_vpr|vpr_blif>
|
|
|
|
Defines which OpenFPGA flow to run. By default ``yosys_vpr`` is executed.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: power_analysis=<true|false>
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether to perform power analysis or not.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: power_tech_file=<path_to_tech_XML_file>
|
|
|
|
Declares which tech XML file to be used while perforing Power Analysis.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: spice_output=<true|false>
|
|
|
|
Setting up this variable generates Spice Netlist at the end of the flow.
|
|
Equivalent of passing ``--vpr_fpga_spice`` command to :ref:`run_fpga_flow`
|
|
|
|
.. option:: verilog_output=<true|false>
|
|
|
|
Setting up this variable generates Verilog Netlist at the end of the flow.
|
|
Equivalent of passing ``--vpr_fpga_spice`` command to :ref:`run_fpga_flow`
|
|
|
|
.. option:: timeout_each_job=<true|false>
|
|
|
|
Specifies the the timeout for each :ref:`run_fpga_flow` execution. Default
|
|
is set to ``20 min``
|
|
|
|
|
|
Architectures Sections
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
User can define the list of architecure files in this section.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: arch<arch_label>=<xml_architecture_file_path>
|
|
|
|
The ``arch_label`` variable can be any number of string without
|
|
white-spaces. ``xml_architecture_file_path`` is path to the actual XML
|
|
architecture file
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
In final OpenFPGA Task result the architecture will be referred by its
|
|
``arch_label``.
|
|
|
|
Benchmarks Sections
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
User can define the list of benchmarks files in this section.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: bench<bench_label>=<list_of_files_in_benchmark>
|
|
|
|
The ``bench_label`` variable can be any number of string without
|
|
white-spaces. ``xml_architecture_file_path`` is path to the actual XML
|
|
architecture file
|
|
|
|
For Example following code shows how to define a benchmarks,
|
|
with single file multiple files and files added from specific directory.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: text
|
|
|
|
[BENCHMARKS]
|
|
# To declare single benchmark file
|
|
bench_design1=${BENCH_PATH}/design/top.v
|
|
|
|
# To declare multiple benchmark file
|
|
bench_design2=${BENCH_PATH}/design/top.v,${BENCH_PATH}/design/sub_module.v
|
|
|
|
# To add all files in specific directory to the benchmark
|
|
bench_design3=${BENCH_PATH}/design/top.v,${BENCH_PATH}/design/lib/*.v
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
``bench_label`` is referred again in ``Synthesis_Param`` section to
|
|
provide addional information about benchmark
|
|
|
|
Synthesis Parameter Sections
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
User can define extra parameters for each benchmark defined in the
|
|
``BENCHMARKS`` sections.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: bench<bench_label>_top=<Top_Module_Name>
|
|
|
|
This defines the Top Level module name for ``bench_label`` benchmark.
|
|
By default, the top level module name is cosidereed as a ``top``.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: bench<bench_label>_yosys_tmpl=<yosys_template_file>
|
|
|
|
[TODO]
|
|
|
|
.. option:: bench<bench_label>_chan_width=<chan_width_to_use>
|
|
|
|
In case of running fixed channel width routing for each benchmark,
|
|
this option defines the channel width to be used for ``bench_label``
|
|
benchmark
|
|
|
|
.. option:: bench<bench_label>_act=<activity_file_path>
|
|
|
|
In case of running ``blif_vpr_flow`` this option provides the activity files
|
|
to be used to generate testbench for ``bench_label`` benchmark
|
|
|
|
.. option:: bench<bench_label>_verilog=<source_verilog_file_path>
|
|
|
|
In case of running ``blif_vpr_flow`` with verification this option provides
|
|
the source verilog design for ``bench_label`` benchmark to be used
|
|
while verification.
|
|
|
|
Script Parameter Sections
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
The script parameter section lists set of commnad line pararmeters to be passed to :ref:`run_fpga_flow` script. The section name is defines as ``SCRIPT_PARAM_<parameter_set_label>`` where `parameter_set_label` can be any word without white spaces.
|
|
The section is referred with ``parameter_set_label`` in final result file.
|
|
|
|
For example following code Specifies the two sets (``Fixed_Routing_30`` and ``Fixed_Routing_50``) of :ref:`run_fpga_flow` arguments.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: text
|
|
|
|
[SCRIPT_PARAM_Fixed_Routing_30]
|
|
# Execute fixed routing with channel with 30
|
|
fix_route_chan_width=30
|
|
|
|
[SCRIPT_PARAM_Fixed_Routing_50]
|
|
# Execute fixed routing with channel with 50
|
|
fix_route_chan_width=50
|
|
|
