GHRD/GSRD Demonstration

A Collection of Hardware and Software for Developing Various Applications

The Golden System Reference Design (GSRD) and the Golden Hardware Reference Design (GHRD) comprise a collection of software and hardware components for developing various applications using the Lattice FPGA.

The Golden System Reference Design (GSRD) is a collection of software and hardware components for developing a wide variety of end-user applications using the Lattice FPGA. The GSRD architecture provides a base level FPGA system design that allows user to add or remove any additional soft-IPs or custom IPs, without having to build the entire FPGA system from scratch. You can focus on integration and testing your own developed blocks and scale your application accordingly. The GSRD demo also showcases various complex soft-IP features, systems, and tool capabilities to help you understand Lattice FPGA devices better.

Features

  • Support RISC-V RX Soft CPU and AXI4 Interconnect
  • QSPI Flash Controller and on-chip System Memory
  • ABP connected UART, GPIO and LED output
  • Memory Controller with LPDDR4 support
  • RGMII/SGMII Gigabit Ethernet interface and SGDMA data transfer IP
