Hi all , I am curious to know how to port a design made on gem5 on to a FPGA board , there is a bit of gap in my mind on the steps that i would want to follow,i found a paper in this line which shows the following steps [image: Screenshot from 2023-06-29 15-03-31.png] paper: https://carrv.github.io/2017/papers/roelke-risc5-carrv2017.pdf so if i use Archfp then i would be able to port my design to rocketchip or BOOM projects ,then i can port it to FPGA board?please let me know if these steps are right Regards saras

Hi Saras, I don't think there is a way to convert your gem5 model to an FPGA board as gem5 models are cycle-level models and not not cycle-accurate/cycle-exact. The paper you have referred to, shows how to use gem5 performance numbers and pass them to McPAT, ArchFP, and HotSpot to get power,area, and heat estimations. I think there has been work done to convert Chisel based cycle-accurate models to gem5 models (for example using Verilator), but not the other way around. If your configuration/model looks similar to Rocket/Boom I think the best option would be to make same changes in Chisel models and deploy them on an FPGA. -Ayaz On Thu, Jun 29, 2023 at 12:12 PM saras nanda via gem5-users < gem5-users@gem5.org> wrote: > Hi all , > > I am curious to know how to port a design made on gem5 on to a FPGA board , > there is a bit of gap in my mind on the steps that i would want to > follow,i found a paper in this line which shows the following steps > [image: Screenshot from 2023-06-29 15-03-31.png] > > paper: https://carrv.github.io/2017/papers/roelke-risc5-carrv2017.pdf > > so if i use Archfp then i would be able to port my design to rocketchip or > BOOM projects ,then i can port it to FPGA board?please let me know if these > steps are right > > Regards > saras > _______________________________________________ > gem5-users mailing list -- gem5-users@gem5.org > To unsubscribe send an email to gem5-users-leave@gem5.org >
