Azadi_II
public project

Description:

This project is the extended version of Azadi-SoC, which includes all of the peripherals which were in Azadi-I and few more this time, which were not stable at the time of Azadi-I. Azadi-II is also a final year project of undergrad students.

The Azadi-II includes the following peripherals.

  • I2C 
  • RISC-V Debug
    • JTAG
  • PWM 4-Channel with deadband enable
  • OpenRAM
    • 1KB x 4 for ICCM
    • 1KB x 4 for DCCM
  • Ibex core(named as brq_core)
  • FPU (single-precision)
  • TileLink (UL)
  • UART
  • PWM
  • SPI
  • GPIOs

Design Goals:

Azadi-II is aimed to extend the base ibex core(RV32IMC) with a fully functional single precision floating point unit and RISCV compliant debug module for on chip debugging and some standard peripherals for communicating with other devices. all  these modules will be interlinked using standard Tilelink Bus protocol.

Target Performance:

for Azadi-II frequency is the main performance parameters. The target is to achieve 40MHz of sign-off frequency. In the previous version the frequency was about 25MHz.
