Build Software

Prerequisites

Make sure you followed the install instructions to prepare the system and install the compiler toolchain.

Building software

$ cd $REPO_TOP/sw
$ make SW_DIR=examples/hello_world CC=/tools/riscv/bin/riscv32-unknown-elf-gcc

The build process produces a variety of output files.

• .elf: the linked program in ELF format
• .bin: the linked program as plain binary
• .dis: the disassembled program
• .vmem: a Verilog memory file which can be read by $readmemh() in Verilog code

Please see SW build flow for more details.
