SEM_Console

This repository contains 3 tools:

• ACME : A tool that receives an EBD file (synth_system.ebd) and a set of coordinates that define the area where the user wants to inject errors using a SEM core. It then outputs a text file (injectionRange.txt) containing the Linear Frame Adresses (LFA) corresponding to the essential bits of the target area, which can then be used to inject errors in this block.
• SEM : Contains C functions that allow to easily communicate with a SEM Core via a serial port and a example script that automatically injects errors using the addresses available at injectionRange.txt, with a random rate based on a Weibull distribution. Note: If using a UltraScale+ device, remenber to uncomment #define ULTRASCALE_P in the sem.h file.
• console : A console that allows to communicate with the SEM core via a serial port and the usage of the automatic injection script present in the SEM directory. The serial port can be changed in the SERIAL parameter present in the Makefile (default=/dev/ttyUSB2).

There are 3 main Make targets:

• make run : compiles and runs the serial console
• make acme : compiles and runs the ACME tool. It also copies the (injectionRange.txt) file to the console directory.
• make clean : deletes generated files

Extending ACME to Genesys 2 board

Hi Andre, my name is Bella Esposito and I am a student researcher at the University of Florida. I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to contact the ACME team but I would like to use the source code from the ACME tool.

I am working on adding support for the Genesys2 board with the ACME tool and following the steps listed in the appendix of their paper. However, I do not understand the correlation of the slope and intercept, or the equation needed based on the clock region coordinates and the EBD file lines. Since you were able to add support for the ZCU104 board, could you describe how you found this information?

I realize this is an old project of yours but any information would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Bella
