Steps to Create the NoC

Step 1: Switch to the branch

Switch to the branch tutorial-asplos-2023:
```
git checkout tutorial-asplos-2023
```
Note: Source the environment setup script:
```
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:

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:

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:

./simulator-chipyard-TutorialPhase9Config3dgemmini${DEBUG} $PK ${full_binary_path}

Step 6: Run the Script

Run the Verilator simulation with:

./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.
