Interfacing with the Arm PL022 within a cocotb testbench

The Arm PL022 provides an interface for synchronous serial communication with peripheral devices connected to the  SoC via the Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB). It supports a choice of interface operation, Motorola compatible Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), National Semiconductor Microwire, or Texas Instruments synchronous serial interface. See the Techology page for details.

Basic PLL with TSMC 65nm

To design and verify a simple PLL for use as generator of clock signals in System on Chip design. The desired outcome from this project should be the following:

Clock generation for frequencies between 60 MHz and 1.2 GHzInclude PLL-lock signal for system start upLow clock uncertainty below 5% (transition time and jitter)Integer clock divider which can be updated at run timeMinimal area

The resulting IP for these component blocks will be made available to the soclabs community for the upcoming design contest.

Lightweight DMA Infrastructure
The project aims to produce lightweight SoC Infrastructures using the variety of AMBA bus architectures. An initial NanoSoC infrastructure using AHB for small scale accelerators with low data throughput and complexity is complete. The project is now looking for collaboration on an AXI based SOC, for larger scale accelerators with higher data throughput and added complexity.

Event-B to FPGA process flows

The aim of the project will be to establish the tool chain and flows to demonstrate Event-B refinement to a Register Transfer Level implementation that can target an FPGA implementation. Previous European, EC Information and Communication Technologies FP7 DEPLOY and European Union ICT Project ADVANCE developed VHDL code generation from Event-B models. A number of projects within these and other research programmes have looked at the required process flows. The Rodin Platform is an open source Eclipse-based IDE for Event-B.
