# Software Framework
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This folder provides the core of the NEORV32 software framework.
|
||
|
|
This is a short description of the main folders.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## [`bootloader`](bootloader)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Source(s) of the default NEORV32 bootloader.
|
||
|
|
A pre-built image is already installed into the rtl design via the `rtl/core/neorv32_bootloader_image.vhd` file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## [`common`](common)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NEORV32-specific common files for all bootloader and application programs:
|
||
|
|
linker script for executable generation and processor start-up code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## [`example`](example)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Several example programs for testing and for getting started.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## [`image_gen`](image_gen)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This folder contains a simple program that is used to create NEORV32 executables (for upload via bootloader) and VHDL
|
||
|
|
memory initialization files (for memory-persistent applications and for the bootloader).
|
||
|
|
This program is automatically compiled using the native GCC when invoking one of the application compilation makefiles.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## [`lib`](lib)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Core libraries (sources and header files) and helper functions for using the processor peripherals and the CPU itself.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## [`ocd-firmware`](ocd-firmware)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Firmware (debugger "park loop") for the on-chip debugger. This folder is just for documenting the source code.
|
||
|
|
Modifying the sources is not recommended as this could break the on-chip debugger.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## [`openocd`](openocd)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Configuration file for openOCD to connect to the NEORV32 on-chip debugger via JTAG.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## [`svd`](svd)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Contains a CMSIS-SVD compatible system view description file including _all_ peripherals.
