  • How to include your custom Chisel sources in the Chipyard build system

  • Adding custom core

  • Adding custom RoCC accelerators to an existing Chipyard core (BOOM or Rocket)

  • Adding custom MMIO widgets to the Chipyard memory system by Tilelink or AXI4, with custom Top-level IOs

  • Adding custom Dsptools based blocks as MMIO widgets.

  • Standard practices for using Keys, Traits, and Configs to parameterize your design

  • Customizing the memory hierarchy

  • Connect widgets which act as TileLink masters

  • Adding custom blackboxed Verilog to a Chipyard design

We also provide information on:

  • The boot process for Chipyard SoCs

  • Examples of FIRRTL transforms used in Chipyard, and where they are specified
