NOTE BY YIZHOU

It only works with Vivado HLS 2019.1. Otherwise the generated signal names mismatch.

Run this script

mkdir build
cd build
../run.sh                          # generate Makefile etc
make installip                     # build tcp and snic_handle HLS IPs
make project_standalone_tcp        # build the combined vivado IP

• To open Vivado GUI, run make g inside build/.

About Vivado project

The top HDL code is in hdl/standalone_tcp, which was a copy from hdl/common. The top file is hdl/standalone_tcp/os.sv, in which the top module is snic_tcp_top. This module connects both snic_handler and tcp.

About fpga-network-systems

So the original ip_handler, which sits right before tcp module, will rip off the ethernet headers, and look at ip opcode, then distribute packets to icmp, udp, or tcp.

So the TCP module will get packets with <IP, TCP> headers.

TCP modules also sends out packets with <IP, TCP> headers, too. Those packets will then go into mac_ip_encode, which will look up ARP and attach ethernet headers in the beginning.

In all, the tcp_stack, or toe, deal with packets with <IP, TCP> headers.

The next question is how much we can leave it blank there.

DavOS (Distributed Accelerator OS)

Prerequisites

• Xilinx Vivado 2019.1
• cmake 3.0 or higher
• Linux OS
• Xilinx licenses for board/chip and Ethernet cores

Supported boards (out of the box)

• Xilinx VC709
• Xilinx VCU118
• Alpha Data ADM-PCIE-7V3

Build project

1. Initialize submodules

$ git clone [email protected]:fpgasystems/davos.git
$ git submodule update --init --recursive

2. Create build directory

$ mkdir build
$ cd build

3. Configure build

$ cmake .. -DDEVICE_NAME=vcu118 -DTCP_STACK_EN=1 -DVIVADO_ROOT_DIR=/opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2019.1/bin -DVIVADO_HLS_ROOT_DIR=/opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2019.1/bin

All options:

Name	Values	Desription
DEVICE_NAME	<vc709,vcu118,adm7v3>	Supported devices
NETWORK_BANDWIDTH	<10,100>	Bandwidth of the Ethernet interface in Gbit/s, default depends on board
ROLE_NAME		Name of the role, default:. benchmark_role
ROLE_CLK	<net,pcie>	Main clock used for the role, default: net
TCP_STACK_EN	<0,1>	default: 0
UDP_STACK_EN	<0,1>	default: 0
ROCE_STACK_EN	<0,1>	default: 0
VIVADO_ROOT_DIR		Path to Vivado HLS directory, e.g. /opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2019.1
VIVADO_HLS_ROOT_DIR		Path to Vivado HLS directory, e.g. /opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2019.1

4. Build HLS IP cores and install them into IP repository

$ make installip

5. Create vivado project

$ make project

6. Run synthesis

$ make synthesize

7. Run implementation

$ make implementation

8. Generate bitstream

$ make bitstream

Handling HLS IP cores

1. Setup build directory, e.g. for the dma_bench module

$ cd hls/dma_bench
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. -DFPGA_PART=xcvu9p-flga2104-2L-e -DCLOCK_PERIOD=3.2

2. Run c-simulation

$ make csim

3. Run c-synthesis

$ make synthesis

4. Generate HLS IP core

$ make ip

5. Instal HLS IP core in ip repository

$ make installip
