Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Architecture

See doc/srnotes.txt for Steve's notes on organization and such (still TBD as of this writing).

Quick guide to repository contents as of 01/2017:

• doc/ => documentation (still TBD as of this writing)
• hardware/pe => Artem's PE generator (right?)
• hardware/sb => Ankita's switchbox generator (yes?)
• sr-proposal/ => Steve's proposal for a unified framework for the generators

For a quick example of how Steve's proposal works, you can do this (assumes github repository is mapped to CGRA/ and that the "make" and "Genesis2.pl" commands are both working and available in your path):

  % cd CGRA/sr-proposal

  % ls */test_pe.svp
    tst/test_pe.svp

  % make gen GENESIS_TOP=test_pe

  % ls */test_pe.sv
    genesis_verif/test_pe.sv

  % ./genesis_clean.cmd

What did this do? Well, if everything worked correctly...

• the "make" command used the information in CGRA/Makefile to find and process the Genesis file tst/test_pe.svp, producing the verilog file genesis_verif/test_pe.sv
• the "genesis_clean.cmd" cleaned everything up and put it back the way it was before you started the example.
