Hello  
I need to run the processor in a simulation with a program from AHBROM.  
I tried using the ahbram\_gen program from the elf file but no result: ram is empty.  
Sorry for the stupid question, but how exactly should I load the program into NOEL-V?  
I am using the riscv-gaisler-elf compiler.

Hi!  
Are you sure you want to load the program into ROM and not RAM?  
In any case, if you are in a design directory, for example noelv-generic you can call the recipes `make soft` and `make prom`. Otherwise you can compile your program on your own using the toolchain and then pass the name of the srec file to your simulator, in most cases using the argument `-gramfile="program.srec"` or similarly for the rom `-gromfile="program.srec"`

Hi,  
Thanks for the answer! I want to use NOEL-V without modeling, so I want to generate a ROM
