  • Instruction trace buffer support in LEON5
  • Changed default number of timer bits in asr22-23 to 32 in LEON5
  • Bug fixes for NOEL-V and LEON5
  • NOEL-V template designs have been updated to share common core design
  • Fix for dsnoop=7 (single-port memory only) configuration in LEON3.
  • Updated TECHMAP for Ultrascale, Ultrascale+ and Unisim.
  • General IP updates

If you find any any reproducible bugs or issues please don’t hesitate to post in the community.

----------------------- Release 2021.2-b4267 ---------------------------

2021-06-30 Updated TECHMAP for Ultrascale, Ultrascale+ and Unisim. The constants syncram_abits_min and syncram_2p_abits_min, defined in gencomp.vhd, determine whether the syncram should be inferred or not, depending on the address width.

2021-06-29 Updated Xilinx Vivado script generation so that newer version of Vivado find the top level testbench in XSim by defining the top level library.

2021-06-23 LEON5 processor updates

New features:
Statistics unit added to subsystem, enabled with statcfg generic.
Updates to instruction trace buffer support

Updates:
Fix for snooping in cmemconf=2 configuration.
Fixes related to RETRY/SPLIT handling.
Fixes for debug interface cgen=1 configuration
Changed default number of timer bits in asr22-23 to 32
Order of slaves modified in LEON5 subsystem so that the built-in UART always is found first by software plug’n’play scanning.

2021-06-23 NOEL-V template design update
NOEL-V template designs has been updated to use a shared core design (located in noelv-generic/rtl/core).
Configuration change to the NOEL-V KCU105 design to make ethernet interface more stable.

2021-06-15 NOEL-V processor update
Added Hypervisor support (H extension) in the HPP configuration.
Re-enabled Compressed instruction support (C extension).
FPU and Atomic operation bug fixes and general timing optimization.

NOEL-V subsystem
Changed PLIC configuration form level to edge.

2021-06-15 Added NOEL-V generic template design
This design has the same core design as other NOEL-V template designs, but without any target technology or board. It is intended for simulating a NOEL-V system.

2021-06-14 GRETH: Updated little endian bus support.

2021-06-02 LEON3: Fix for dsnoop=7 (single-port memory only) configuration. Snoop tag RAMs were not always enabled correctly. Only affects dsnoop=7 which was introduced in release 1.4.4-b4162 and is not in widespread use.
