FireSim
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
`FireSim <https://fires.im/>`__ is an open-source cycle-accurate FPGA-accelerated full-system hardware simulation platform that runs on cloud FPGAs (Amazon EC2 F1).
|
|
FireSim allows RTL-level simulation at orders-of-magnitude faster speeds than software RTL simulators.
|
|
FireSim also provides additional device models to allow full-system simulation, including memory models and network models.
|
|
|
|
FireSim currently supports running only on Amazon EC2 F1 FPGA-enabled virtual instances on the public cloud.
|
|
In order to simulate your REBAR design using FireSim, you should follow the following steps:
|
|
|
|
Follow the initial EC2 setup instructions as detailed in the `FireSim documentation <http://docs.fires.im/en/latest/Initial-Setup/index.html>`__.
|
|
Then clone your full REBAR repository onto your Amazon EC2 FireSim manager instance.
|
|
|
|
Enter the ``sims/FireSim`` directory, and follow the FireSim instructions for `running a simulation <http://docs.fires.im/en/latest/Running-Simulations-Tutorial/index.html>`__.
