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 extension changes.
Task Directory
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The tasks are stored 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 referred to 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::
${TASK_DIRECTORY}/regression/regression_quick/conf/task.conf
Running OpenFPGA Task:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At a minimum ``open_fpga_flow.py`` requires following command-line arguments::
open_fpga_flow.py <task1_name> <task2_name> ... [<options>]
where:
* ``<task_name>`` is the name of the task to run
* ``<options>`` Other command line arguments described below
Command-line Options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. option:: --maxthreads <number_of_threads>
This option defines the number of threads to run while executing task.
Each combination of architecture, benchmark and set of OpenFPGA Flow options
runs in a individual thread.
.. option:: --skip_thread_logs
Passsing this option skips printing logs from each OpenFPGA Flow script run.
.. option:: --exit_on_fail
Passsing this option exits the OpenFPGA task script with returncode 1,
if any threads fail to execute successfully. It is mainly used to while
performing regression test.
.. option:: --test_run
This option allows to debug OpenFPGA Task script
by skiping actual execution of OpenFPGA flow .
Passing this option prints the list of
commnad generated to execute using OpenFPGA flow.
.. option:: --debug
To enable detailed log printing.
Creating a new OpenFPGA Task
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Create the folder ``${TASK_DIRECTORY}/<task_name>``
- Create a file ``${TASK_DIRECTORY}/<task_name>/config/task.conf`` in it
- Configure the task as explained in :ref:`Configuring a new OpenFPGA Task`
Configuring a new OpenFPGA Task
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The task configuration file ``task.conf`` consists of ``GENERAL``,
``ARCHITECTURES``, ``BENCHMARKS``, ``SYNTHESIS_PARAM`` and
``SCRIPT_PARAM_<var_name>`` sections.
Declaring all the above sections are mandatory.
.. note::
The configuration file supports all the OpenFPGA Variables refer
:ref:`openfpga-variables` section to know more. Variable in the configuration
file is declared as ``${PATH:<variable_name>}``
General Section
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. option:: fpga_flow=<yosys_vpr|vpr_blif|yosys>
This option 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 use while performing 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 timeout for each :ref:`run_fpga_flow` execution. Default is set to ``20 min.``
.. option:: verific=<true|false>
Specifies to use Verific as a frontend for Yosys while running a yosys_vpr flow.
The following standards are used by default for reading input HDL files:
* Verilog - ``vlog95``
* System Verilog - ``sv2012``
* VHDL - ``vhdl2008``
The option should be used only with custom Yosys template containing Verific commands.
OpenFPGA_SHELL Sections
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
User can specify OpenFPGA_SHELL options in this section.
Architectures Sections
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
User can define the list of architecture 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 the 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. ``list_of_files_in_benchmark`` is a list of benchmark HDL files paths.
For Example following code shows how to define a benchmarks,
with a single file, multiple files and files added from a specific directory.
.. code-block:: text
[BENCHMARKS]
# To declare single benchmark file
bench_design1=${BENCH_PATH}/design/top.v
# To declare multiple benchmark file
