Introducing Swift: The Cortex-M0 Caravel SoC Template
Get ready to accelerate your chip designs with Swift, a powerful derivative of the popular Caravel chip harness, now featuring the industry-standard ARM Cortex-M0 processor in its management SoC. Built with the SKY130 Open PDK, Swift provides a ready-to-use foundation for your next silicon project.
Key Features and Enhancements
Swift provides nearly all the robust features of the original Caravel harness, plus key modifications to enhance your design experience:
Processor Core: The management SoC utilizes an ARM Cortex-M0 CPU.
User Project Area: Open project area is provided for placing your custom IP blocks. The user space has an silicon area of 2.92 mm x 3.52 mm.
I/O Pads: Your user design has access to 36 configurable I/O pads.
Management SoC Peripherals: Includes essential components such as a Timer/Counter, UART, and GPIO.
Logic Analyzer: Features 64 logic analyzer probes to observe and control your User Project signals.
Memory: The management SoC includes 2 kbytes of SRAM.
Flash Controller: Supports Quad I/O SPI and includes a 16 x 32-byte lines read-only direct mapped cache.
User Project Interface: The user project area has an AHB-lite master port connection to the management SoC bus.
Management SoC Capabilities
The on-chip management SoC runs firmware to handle critical configuration and control tasks for your design.
I/O Configuration -- Configure the I/O pads for the User Project.
Signal Control -- Observe and control User Project signals via the on-chip logic analyzer probes.
Power Management -- Control the power supply for the User Project.
Housekeeping Access -- The SoC can access registers in the housekeeping module via a backdoor APB interface
The Management SoC Features
The management SoC has the following features:
ARM Cortex-M0 CPU core.
QSPI flash controller with a built-in 16x32 cache.
2 kbyte SRAM.
1 Timer/Counter.
1 UART (shared I/O pads; 5 and 6).
1 GPIO (dedicated I/O pad).
64 Logic probes with direction control.
AHB-Lite master port.
A backdoor to the housekeeping module.
