RISC-V “Rocket Chip” SoC Generator in Chisel
RISC-V “Rocket Chip” SoC Generator in Chisel Yunsup Lee UC Berkeley yunsup@eecs.berkeley.edu What is the Rocket Chip SoC Generator? § Parameterized SoC generator written in Chisel § Generates Tiles - (Rocket) Core + Private Caches § Generates Uncore (Outer Memory System) - Coherence Agent - Shared Caches - DMA Engines - Memory Controllers § Glues all the pieces together 2 “Rocket Chip” SoC Generator Tile Rocket Core ROCC Accel.
