CoreGen Chisel Installation Guide

Getting Started

This installation guide will provide users instructions on installing all of the necessary system depdendecies to utilize the Chisel HDL environment on your respective system. This includes installation of Scala, Verilator and other system packages.

Prerequisites

Installation

Ubuntu (16.04/18.04)

The Scala and Verilator (3.922) are not included in the default package repositories. As a result, we are forced to utilize external package repositories for the Scala packages and build Verilator from source.

  1. Install system packages
sudo apt-get install git make autoconf g++ flex bison perl-doc
  1. Install SBT
echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/sbt/debian /" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sbt.list
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 642AC823
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sbt
  1. Install Verilator 3.922 from source
git clone http://git.veripool.org/git/verilator
cd verilator
git pull
git checkout verilator_3_922
unset VERILATOR_ROOT
autoconf
./configure
make
sudo make install

Centos7

Darwin (OSX)

The Darwin (OSX) installation is currently tested on 10.13.6. However, these build steps are also known to work on older versions of Darwin providing that the necessary packages are installed. For this installation, we use the HomeBrew package manager in order to fulfill all the necessary system dependencies.

  1. Install Scala and Verilator
brew install sbt verilator
