The project started out with the desire to build a CPU from scratch. Examples such as The NAND Game\cite{nandgame} and Ben Eater's Breadboard Computer series\cite{breadboard_computer} served as inspirations and guidance during development.
The project started out with the desire to build a CPU from scratch. Examples such as The NAND Game~\cite{nandgame} and Ben Eater's Breadboard Computer series~\cite{breadboard_computer} served as inspirations and guidance during development.
At first, a design similar to Ben Eater's consisting solely of discrete integrated circuits was considered, but soon discarded in favor of an FPGA-based design. Designing the logic alone was a difficult task, implementing it in discrete hardware would have pushed the project far over the allotted maximum development time.

A somewhat recent development is the creation of Free Software\footnotemark{} FPGA toolchains. A breakthrough was achieved by Claire (formerly Clifford) Wolf in 2013 with yosys\cite{yosys-paper, yosys}, a feature-complete Verilog synthesis suite for Lattice's \texttt{iCE40} FPGA series.

Since then, both yosys and place-and-route tools like nextpnr~\cite{nextpnr} have matured, however Lattice's iCE40 and ECP5 remained the only supported FPGA architectures for place-and-route.
Thus, two obstacles remained for Free toolchains to be viable for this project: synthesizing \emph{from} VHDL code and synthesizing \emph{to} Artix-7 FPGAs. During the development of the project, both of these were solved: Tristan Gingold released ghdlsynth-beta\parencite*{ghdlsynth-beta}, a bridge between GHDL\cite{ghdl} and yosys allowing VHDL to be synthesized just the same as Verilog, and Dave Shah added Xilinx support to nextpnr\cite{nextpnr-xilinx}. The latter was preceded by many months of volunteer work reverse-engineering the Xilinx bitstream format as part of \textit{Project X-Ray}\parencite*{prjxray}.

\subsection{DVI graphics}
The graphics submodule consists of a VGA timing generator, a text renderer with a font ROM, and a DVI encoder frontend:
As can be seen in \autoref{fig:video-core-diagram}, the graphics module consists of several subcomponents:
\begin{itemize}
\item The VGA timing generator creates the impulses and counters necessary to drive a VGA-, DVI- or HDMI-based display
\item The text renderer draws text characters onto the screen using a built-in font ROM
\item The TMDS encoder frontend converts the internal parallel signals into a set of high-speed serial streams necessary for DVI or HDMI.

\subsubsection{VGA timing}
The timing of VGA signals dates back to analog monitors. Even though this original purpose is only very rarely used nowadays, the timing remained the same for analog and digital DVI all the way to modern HDMI.
In analog screens, the electron beams (one for each primary color red, green and blue) scan across the screen a single horizontal line at a time while being modulated by the color values, resulting in a continuous mixture of all three components. When a beam reaches the end of a scanline, it continues outside the visible area for a small distance (the ``Front Porch''), is then sent to the beginning of the next line by a pulse of the hsync (Horizontal Sync) signal, and draws the next line after another short off-screen period (the ``Back Porch'').

When a beam reaches the end of a scanline, it continues outside the visible area for a small distance (the ``Front Porch''), is then sent to the beginning of the next line by a pulse of the hsync (Horizontal Sync) signal, and draws the next line after another short off-screen period (the ``Back Porch'').
The same applies to vertical timings: after the beam reaches the end of the last line, a few off-screen Front Porch lines follow, then a pulse of the vsync (Vertical Sync) signal sends the beam to the top of the screen, where the first line of the next frame is drawn after several invisible Back Porch lines.

First, the current pixel coordinate (created by the VGA timing generator) is split up into two parts: the character index, which specifies the on-screen character the pixel belongs to, and the offset of the pixel in this character. The character index is passed to the text RAM, which contains the codepoint for each on-screen character. This codepoint, along with the pixel offset, is looked up in the font ROM to determine the color of the pixel.

\subsubsection{TMDS encoder}
DVI and HDMI are serial digital transmission standards. Three data lines (corresponding to red, green, and blue channels) along with a clock line transmit all color information as well as synchronization signals. The encoding used for these signals is Transition-minimized differential signaling (TMDS). It is a kind of 8b/10b encoding (transforming every 8-bit chunk of data into a 10-bit chunk) that is designed to minimize the number of changes of the output signal.

The driver is designed to be attached to external circuitry that provides colour data for any given LED index (address). This can either be discrete logic that generates the colour value from the address directly, or a memory that stores a separate colour value for each address.
The LEDs are controlled using a simple one-wire serial protocol. After a reset (long period of logic 0), the data for all LEDs is transmitted serially in one single blob. Each LED consumes and stores the first 24 bits of the stream and applies them as its color value (8 bits each for red, green, blue), all following bits are passed through unmodified. The second LED thus uses the first 24 bits of the stream it receives, but since the first LED already dropped its data, these are actually the second set of 24 bits of the source data.

The exact timing differs between models, so all periods can be customized using generics in the VHDL entity.
\subsection{DRAM}
% TODO
The Arty A7 development board contains a 256MB DDR3 memory module. Since the FPGA only contains about 1.8MB of block RAM, of which some is already reserved for various hardware functions (e.g. the text buffer and WS2812 driver), the external memory is absolutely necessary to run larger programs.
Interfacing with DDR3 memory is notoriously difficult, requiring complex logic on both physical and logical layers. For this reason, the Free Software LiteDRAM core~\cite{litedram} is used to integrate the entire memory interface into the SoC. While irrelevant to the SoC, it can still be considered a slight oddity the LiteDRAM core actually contains an entire separate RISC-V core to coordinate initialization of the memory.

\subsection{Formal Verification}
While carefully selected simulation is useful to uncover bugs and to ensure they can't happen again (regression testing), it never offers complete certainty - it is simply impossible to manually cover all possibilities of inputs. With formal verification, the circuit under test is expressed using a mathematical model and an algorithm (a \emph{SAT solver}) ensures that certain manually-selected criteria are always fulfilled. A detailed explanation of the algorithm can be found in~\cite{symbiyosys-slides}.
As an example of formal verification, the core's ALU (\autoref{sec:core-alu}) has been extended with a formal verification definition, which can be seen in \autoref{lst:alu-formal}. Skipping over some helper logic in the beginning, the first statements add assumptions about the entity's input signals. These are rules that must be obeyed by designs using the component, otherwise the correct function cannot be guaranteed (and is indeed unproven).
Below these assumptions, a process is used to calculate the expected result whenever a calculation is requested. While most operations are implemented the same as in the main entity and thus have little value as a known-good comparison value, the bit-shift operations are implemented incrementally in the main ALU and directly in the verification; thus, the less resource-intensive ALU implementation can be confirmed to function exactly like this more expensive method.
Afterwards, the first assertions actually happen: these are the theorems that the formal verification suite will prove to be correct. The only two proven statements that are actually relevant to users are that when a result has been computed, it will equal the value computed using the aformentioned process, and that a computation will always finish eventually.
Finally, two more assertions are used to give hints to the formal verification algorithm, specifically the induction step. It is sometimes very difficult or even impossible to arrive at a successful induction; these assertions can be proven trivially, eliminating a number of potential scenarios that would otherwise make a successful complete proof impossible.
