This repository contains the C++ simulation code for the VPU hardware. It uses the VPU_ASM submodule to provide configuration generation and the assembler.
Build with cmake. Make sure the submodules are synced as building depends on the scripts there.
See the README in the VPU_ASM submodule for steps on writing and compiling programs.
See options with vpu --help. vpu <binary program> will execute the input binary. Note that the program must be a compiled binary not a text program, it is loaded directly into memory and executed.
To see feedback from the execution you need to set some other options.
--tracewill print the register state each cycle--pipelinewill print the instruction in each pipeline stage of the management core--dump_mem/regswill dump the entire memory state and end register state in files after completion. Note that the memory file is quite large--stepwill wait after executing each cycle, provide a number to step a specific number of cycles or just press enter to run one
Pytest is used for simple tests, ensure pytest is installed and run tests with pytest.
