# cheap_pie
A python tool for register-based chip verification and validation

"Cheap Pie" is a python tool for register-based chip verification and validation.
The name is a translitteration of "chip py" for obvious reasons.

Given an input description file for the chip, it provides a register-level and 
bitfield-level read/write access, through a generic transport layer.

Currently the implemented description input modes are:
- CMSIS-SVD (https://www.keil.com/pack/doc/CMSIS/SVD/html/svd_Format_pg.html)
- IP-XACT ( https://www.accellera.org/downloads/standards/ip-xact )
- SystemRDL (https://www.accellera.org/activities/working-groups/systemrdl)

but it should be relatively easy to add different chip description formats.

Although tested on few real chips (NXP QN9080, I.MX RT1010, K64F),
cheap_pie parser already supports dozen of devices, listed in the CMSIS-SVD 
repository https://github.com/posborne/cmsis-svd .

Currently the supported transport layers are jlink and pyocd, but it should be really easy
to add support for different transport layers, like for instance openSDA, 
CMSIS-DAP, Total Phase Cheetah, GDB or any other.

Experimental support for pyverilator transport allows to run interactive simulation
of register blocks generated from SystemRDL source.

Tested on ipython3 (python 3.8.5) on ubuntu 20.04

# IPython Example:
        %run cheap_pie
        inval = "0xFFFFFFFF"
        hal.regs.ADC_ANA_CTRL.setreg(inval)
        retval = hex(hal.regs.ADC_ANA_CTRL.getreg())
        assert(literal_eval(inval) == literal_eval(retval))

        # decimal assignement        
        inval = 2
        hal.regs.ADC_ANA_CTRL.setreg(inval)
        retval = hal.regs.ADC_ANA_CTRL.getreg()        
        assert(inval == retval)
        
        hal.regs.ADC_ANA_CTRL

# CLI Example:
        # load RT1010 from local svd file under ./devices/
        # automatically calls ipython and cheap_pie initialization
        ./cheap_pie.sh -rf MIMXRT1011.svd -t jlink

        # load K64 from CMSIS-SVD
        # need to specify vendor for svd not in ./devices/
        ./cheap_pie.sh -rf MK64F12.svd -ve Freescale -t jlink

Cheap Pie is modeled after an original Octave/Matlab implementation that cannot
be shared due to licensing reasons. The original code was converted to python
using SMOP ( https://github.com/ripple-neuro/smop ).
