Changed folder name for the 'database development process' of the docs and updated the index.rst page accordingly.
Also a few minor changes as requested by @mithro regarding the content itself and rearranged the paragraphs. Signed-off-by: Davide <[email protected]>

Overview

=========

|

SymbiFlow/symbiflow-arch-defs
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
This is where we describe the logical components in a device to VPR.
|
||||
|
||||
* VtR stands for `Verilog to Routing <https://verilogtorouting.org/>`_,
|
||||
* VPR stands for VtR Place and Route.
|
||||
* VtR also has its own synthesis tool called ODIN-II, but we are using `Yosys <https://github.com/YosysHQ/yosys>`_ instead of that.

SymbiFlow/prjxray/fuzzers/
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
Fuzzers are things that generate a design, feed it to Vivado, and look at the resulting bitstream to make some conclusion.
|
||||
This is how the contents of the database are generated.
|
||||
|
||||
The general idea behind fuzzers is to pick some element in the device (say a block RAM or IOB) to target.
|
||||
If you picked the IOB (no one is working on that yet), you'd write a design that is implemented in a specific IOB.
|
||||
Then you'd create a program that creates variations of the design (called specimens) that vary the design parameters, for example, changing the configuration of a single pin.
|
||||
|
||||
A lot of this program is TCL that runs inside Vivado to change the design parameters, because it is a bit faster to load in one Verilog model and use TCL to replicate it with varying inputs instead of having different models and loading them individually.
|
||||
|
||||
By looking at all the resulting specimens, you can correlate which bits in which frame correspond to a particular choice in the design.
|
||||
|
||||
Looking at the implemented design in Vivado with "Show Routing Resources" turned on is quite helpful in understanding what all choices exist.

SymbiFlow/prjxray/tools/
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
Here, you can find various programs to work with bitstreams, mainly to assist building fuzzers.
|
||||
|
||||
SymbiFlow/prjxray/minitests/roi_harness
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
Shows how to use a bunch of tools together to patch an existing bitstream with hand-crafted FASM (FPGA assembler).
