Introduction#
PeakRDL is a free and open-source control & status register (CSR) generator toolchain. This project provides a command-line tool that unifies many aspects of register automation such as generating Verilog CSR RTL, compiling a C register abstraction layer, and many more. PeakRDL is centered around the SystemRDL register description language, but is also capable of working with other CSR specifications like IP-XACT.
This tool can:
Process SystemRDL 2.0 register descriptions.
Generate synthesizable SystemVerilog RTL register blocks.
Generate a C register abstraction header for software.
Import & export IP-XACT XML.
Create rich and dynamic HTML documentation.
Build a UVM register model abstraction layer.
Be extended by Defining your own Exporter plugin.
… or use one of the many Community Plugins
