## Codebase Structure

The SOC is partitioned into three repositories. The subrepositories are
intended as standalone projects useful outside of LibreSOC. For example,
the IEE754 FPU repository is a general purpose IEEE754 toolkit for the
construction of FSMs and arbitrary length pipelines.

| Git Repo | Documentation | Description   | Pypi    |
|----------|---------------|---------------|--------
| [SOC](https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=soc.git;a=tree) | [Libre-SOC](https://docs.libre-soc.org/soc/) | Main OpenPOWER Hybrid CPU-GPU | |
| [FPU](https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=ieee754fpu.git;a=tree) | -- | Equivalent to hardfloat-3 | https://pypi.org/project/libresoc-ieee754fpu |
| [nmutil](https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=nmutil.git;a=tree) | -- | Equivalent to Chisel3.util | https://pypi.org/project/libresoc-nmutil |
| [OpenPOWER ISA](https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=nmutil.git;a=tree) | [OpenPOWER ISA](https://docs.libre-soc.org/openpower-isa/) | Simulator, ISA spec compiler, co-simulation infrastructure |  https://pypi.org/project/libresoc-openpower-isa/  |

## Installing the Codebase

    pip3 install virtualenv requests
    mkdir ~/.virtualenvs && cd ~/.virtualenvs
    python3 -m venv libresoc
    source ~/.virtualenvs/libresoc/bin/activate
    
    cd ~; mkdir libresoc; cd libresoc
    git clone https://git.libre-soc.org/git/nmutil.git
    git clone https://git.libre-soc.org/git/ieee754fpu.git
    git clone https://git.libre-soc.org/git/soc.git
    
    cd nmutil; make install; cd ..
    cd ieee754fpu; make install; cd ..
    cd soc; make gitupdate; make install; cd ..
    
    python3 soc/src/soc/decoder/power_decoder.py
