What you practice
Load an instruction word and read it back (0.2). Preload an instruction word into the instruction memory and verify that the design reads it back correctly. It is in $readmemh and first ADD — Part 0 · RV Core Warming Up of the RISC-V RV32I Core Masterclass.
The RV32I core is Verilog you simulate in the browser IDE. Verilator runs the program; the waveform shows PC, the instruction, and the register write.
Run it in the Verilog IDE
- Open the RV32I lesson in the IDE. Fetch, decode, and execute are source you can simulate.
- Run Verilator and watch PC, the instruction, and the register write on the waveform.
- Treat a program printout as done only after the ISA step this lesson names matches the wave.
- Change the RTL in the editor, rerun Verilator, and read the waveform again in the same tab.
The lesson is done when the simulation matches Load an instruction word and read it back. Change the source, run the Verilog simulator again, and read the waveform without leaving the IDE. Simulation guide · Yosys guide.
