The SoCRocket Library can be checked out from our GIT repository at the following location:

$ git clone https://github.com/socrocket/core.git

To compile and simulate the included models, software and example platforms the following tools are required (items marked with * are optional):

Tool / Lib	Version	Vendor	Installation Path Variables
Python (+PyQT4)	>2.7	Python team	On `$PATH`
GCC (x86)	>4.6.0	GCC team	On `$PATH`
Doxygen*	>1.8.2	Doxygen	On `$PATH`
GCOV/LCOV*	>4.1.0	GNU team	On `$PATH`
Boost	>1_37_0	Boost team	On system library path and system include path
Questasim*	>6.0	Mentor Graphics	On `$PATH`
GRLIB*	1.0.21	Aeroflex Gaisler	`$GRLIB_HOME` – installation root; `GRLIB_TECH` – Path to compiled demo design: `/designs/leon3-gr-xc3s-1500/modelsim`

On a Debian/Ubuntu (64bit) System you can install most of the dependencies with apt-get:

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential python2.7-dev libboost-dev libboost-thread-dev libboost-regex-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libreadline-dev libc6-i386 lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 swig gfortran libatlas-base-dev libhdf5-dev

Please make sure that all the software packages mentioned above are properly installed, before proceeding with building the library.

Compiling software for the LEON ISS requires a SPARC compiler. We recommend using the GCC/BCC provided by Aeroflex Gaisler. It will be downloaded automatically when you run ./waf configure.

The Mentor Modelsim simulator and the Aeroflex Gaisler GRLIB are required for SystemC/VHDL co-simulation. This feature can be optionally disabled (see requirements4). Gcov/Lcov and Doxygen are also optional components. The build system will not check for them. If the packages are not present, test coverage calculation and the generation of additional documentation are not possible.
