First tangible-on-real-silicon-equivalent-hardware demo. The simplest possible end-to-end loop:
- Synthesize
inner_jib_top.sv for the chosen FPGA target
- Generate bitstream
- Program the FPGA (USB JTAG)
- RISC-V binary on board sums 0..5 and prints '15' on UART
- Host computer reads UART output, displays it
Why this matters:
This is the first demo that proves the toolchain runs all the way from MAST RTL to physical silicon-equivalent hardware. It's small, but it's tangible. We can show it to:
- Cooperative members
- Potential funders (FINEP, BNDES, OpenCollective backers)
- Universities (USP, UNICAMP, UFMG) who could host us
- Talks at conferences (FISL, RISC-V Summit Brasil)
