vexriscv_mem_mapped_aes128/README.md

## Vexriscv with AES128 ECB on the memory mapped bus
### In the simulation:
From inside the folder ```vexriscv``` start the simulation with

```
sbt "runMain quantumrisc.PQVexRiscvSim"
```

Connect ```openocd-vexriscv``` to the simulation. Therefore open a new console,
navigate again to the ```vexriscv``` folder and go with

```
openocd-vexriscv -f vexriscvsim.cfg
```

Now you might want to compile and upload the C code to the simulation.
Compile the C project from inside the folder ```c_project``` with

```
make PLATFORM=pqvexriscvsim
```

The compilation has created a file with the name ```main.elf```.
Upload this file via GDB to the simulation
(from inside the folder ```c_project```) with

```
riscv64-unknown-elf-gdb -tui -ex 'set remotetimeout 30' -ex 'target extended-remote :3333' -ex 'load' -ex 'break main' -ex 'continue' main.elf
```

One breakpoint at the start of the main function is already set. You might want to set another one inside the While(1) loop. Mabye at line 70 with:

```
b 70
```

Continuing the next breakpoint works with ```c```.

The UART output from the Vexriscv is visible in the first concolse, where you started the simulation.

### On the ULX3S Board:
```
sbt "runMain quantumrisc.PQVexRiscvUlx3s"
```
Copy the created ```*ulx3s.v``` verilog file and the memory files ```*ulx3s*.bin``` to the folder ```ulx3s```. From there run ```make``` to create the bitstream:
```
make PQVexRiscvUlx3s.bit
```
Flash the bitstream to the board:
```
sudo fujprog PQVexRiscvUlx3s.bit
```
The Vexrisc is now running on the ULX3S Board. Now connect ```openocd``` to it.  To do that, you need an external JTAG Adapter. The one i'm using is a Adafruit TF232H.

The description for the wiring is available in one of my other projects:

https://github.com/ThorKn/vexriscv-ulx3s-simple-plugin

This time you need a different configfile, contained in the ```vexriscv``` folder:
```
sudo openocd-vexriscv -f tf2323h_openocd.cfg
```
Build the C project for a different ```PLATFORM``` then before (in the sim):
```
make PLATFORM=pqvexriscvulx3s
```
Uploading via GDB and using GDB is the same as above:
```
riscv64-unknown-elf-gdb -tui -ex 'set remotetimeout 30' -ex 'target extended-remote :3333' -ex 'load' -ex 'break main' -ex 'continue' main.elf
```
To see the UART output you can use the UART interface from the ULX3S board. Just open a Terminal program of your choice (i.e. GTKTerm) and connect it over USB with the parameters ```115200 - 8 - N - 1```.
