| # SoC/Processor Templates | ||||
|  | ||||
| This folder provides exemplary templates that wrap the processor top entity and provide a simplified | ||||
| set of configuration generics and IOs. These setups are intended to allow beginner an easy start by | ||||
| hiding much of the processor's configuration complexity. Furthermore, these setups are used by many | ||||
| of the provided [example setups](https://github.com/stnolting/neorv32/tree/master/setups). | ||||
|  | ||||
| Alternatively, you can directly instantiate the processor's top entity | ||||
| [`rtl/core/neorv32_top.vhd`](https://github.com/stnolting/neorv32/blob/master/rtl/core/neorv32_top.vhd) | ||||
| to have full access to _all_ features. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ### [`neorv32_ProcessorTop_Minimal.vhd`](https://github.com/stnolting/neorv32/blob/master/rtl/processor_templates/neorv32_ProcessorTop_Minimal.vhd) | ||||
|  | ||||
| This setup used the ["Direct Boot Configuration"](https://stnolting.github.io/neorv32/#_boot_configuration). | ||||
| Application software is installed directly into the processor-internal instruction memory (IMEM) during | ||||
| synthesis. This memory is implemented as ROM and these is no bootloader available. Hence, the executable | ||||
| remains unchangeable is executed right after reset. | ||||
|  | ||||
| The setup only provides 3 PWM channels as IO. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ### [`neorv32_ProcessorTop_MinimalBoot.vhd`](https://github.com/stnolting/neorv32/blob/master/rtl/processor_templates/neorv32_ProcessorTop_MinimalBoot.vhd) | ||||
|  | ||||
| This setup used the ["Indirect Boot Configuration"](https://stnolting.github.io/neorv32/#_boot_configuration). | ||||
| The NEORV32 bootloader is enabled in this setup allowing to upload new application software at any time | ||||
| via a UART connection. | ||||
|  | ||||
| The setup provides 8 GPIO outputs and the UART communication lines as IO. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ### [`neorv32_ProcessorTop_UP5KDemo.vhd`](https://github.com/stnolting/neorv32/blob/master/rtl/processor_templates/neorv32_ProcessorTop_UP5KDemo.vhd) | ||||
|  | ||||
| This is a more complex template that implements a small microcontroller-like NEORV32. | ||||
| It was originally designed for _UPDuino V3_ board, which features a Lattice iCE40up5k FPGA, but has | ||||
| also been ported to other boards that provide the same FPGA. | ||||
|  | ||||
| This setup provides a rich set of IOs including GPIO, SPI, TWI and PWM. | ||||
