This project creates a tool for generating project specific register banks.
Register banks are a major part of SW-HW interfaces, which are common in SoPCs, and their implementation can be generated by automated tools.
The tool supports:
Generation of register bank HW blocks (VHDL/Verilog), which connect to vAXI.
Generation of SW header files (.h files), for accessing the HW registers.
Generation of utilization reports.
User configuration of each register:
Name.
Address, including support for unaligned and/or non-continuous addresses.
Width.
Access (Read-Only / Read-Write).
Additionally, the project contains an example design for using the generator tool – matrix-vector multiplication:
The multiplication is performed on a HW accelerator block.
The SW that handles data transfers to and from the accelerator.
