+# Creating the NoC Configuration
+
+The created NoC configuration will be: **3 × 2**
+
+```
+0———1
+|   |     
+2———3
+|   |
+4———5
+|   |
+6———7
+```
+
+## Steps to Create the NoC
+
+### Step 1: Switch to the branch
+- Switch to the branch `tutorial-asplos-2023`:
+  ```bash
+  git checkout tutorial-asplos-2023
+  ```
+- **Note**: Source the environment setup script:
+  ```bash
+  source env.sh
+  ```
+- It is recommended to build a new Chipyard with Gemmini in the `tutorial-asplos-2023` branch.
+
+---
+
+### Step 2: Edit the Configuration File
+- Edit the file located at:
+  ```
+  chipyard/generators/chipyard/src/main/scala/config/TutorialConfigs.scala
+  ```
+- Add the following configuration under **`TutorialPhase9Config3dgemmini`**:
+
+```scala
+class TutorialPhase9Config3dgemmini extends Config(
+  new constellation.soc.WithSbusNoC(constellation.protocol.TLNoCParams(
+    constellation.protocol.DiplomaticNetworkNodeMapping(
+      // inNodeMappings map master agents onto the NoC
+      inNodeMapping = ListMap(
+        "Core 0" -> 0,  // Rocket frontend + Gemmini
+        "Core 1" -> 1,  // Rocket frontend + Gemmini
+        "Core 2" -> 2,  // Rocket frontend + Gemmini
+        "serial-tl" -> 0),
+      // outNodeMappings map client agents (L2 banks) onto the NoC
+      outNodeMapping = ListMap(
+        "system[0]" -> 3, "system[1]" -> 4, "system[2]" -> 5, "system[3]" -> 6,
+        "pbus" -> 7)),
+    NoCParams(
+      topology        = TerminalRouter(BidirectionalTorus2D(4, 2)),
+      channelParamGen = (a, b) => UserChannelParams(Seq.fill(8) { UserVirtualChannelParams(4) }),
+      routingRelation = BlockingVirtualSubnetworksRouting(TerminalRouterRouting(Mesh2DEscapeRouting()), 5, 1),
+      skipValidationChecks = true
+    )
+  )) ++
+  // ==========================================
+  // DO NOT change below this line without    |
+  // carefully adjusting the NoC config above |
+  // ==========================================
+
+  // add LeanGemmini to Rocket-core (as frontend)
+  new chipyard.config.WithMultiRoCC ++
+  new chipyard.config.WithMultiRoCCFromBuildRoCC(0,1,2) ++
+  new gemmini.DefaultGemminiConfig(gemmini.GemminiConfigs.leanConfig.copy(use_dedicated_tl_port=false)) ++
+
+  // Add 1 simple RocketCore+gemmini tile
+  new freechips.rocketchip.subsystem.WithNBigCores(1) ++
+  new freechips.rocketchip.subsystem.WithNBigCores(1) ++
+  new freechips.rocketchip.subsystem.WithNBigCores(1) ++
+
+  // Use 4 banks of L2 cache
+  new freechips.rocketchip.subsystem.WithNBanks(4) ++
+
+  new chipyard.config.AbstractConfig
+)
+```
+
+---
+
+### Step 3: Build the Configuration
+- Navigate to the directory:
+  ```
+  chipyard/sims/verilator
+  ```
+- Build the configuration using the following command:
+  ```bash
+  make debug CONFIG=TutorialPhase9Config3dgemmini -j10
+  ```
+
+---
+
+### Step 4: Check the RTL Files
+- Verify the generated RTL files at:
+  ```
+  chipyard.TestHarness.TutorialPhase9Config3dgemmini/gen-collateral
+  ```
+
+---
+
+### Step 5: Edit the Run Script
+- Navigate to:
+  ```
+  chipyard/generators/gemmini
+  ```
+- Edit the script `scripts/run-verilator.sh`. Replace the existing binary with:
+  ```bash
+  ./simulator-chipyard-TutorialPhase9Config3dgemmini${DEBUG} $PK ${full_binary_path}
+  ```
+
+---
+
+### Step 6: Run the Script
+- Run the Verilator simulation with:
+  ```bash
+  ./scripts/run-verilator.sh —debug template
+  ```
+
+---
+
+### Step 7: Analyze the Waveform
+- The waveform file `waveform.vcd` will be generated at:
+  ```
+  chipyard/generators/gemmini/waveforms
+  ```
+- Open the waveform file using **GTKWave** for analysis.
