Nice info.  You might consider using a log scale for the pricing axis. 
That would help spread out the low end rather than having all that data 
bunched into the corner.  Maybe even log the size axis too.

Thank you for the replies and info.

I will be designing my CPU in several stages. I
have the first stage designed but not debugged.
Am working on that this week (Lord willing).

Would it be preferable to design and test each
in Quartus-II only? What about DRAM controllers?
And Ethernet? I plan on using Ethernet for remote
debugging during development and testing. And
do I want a dev board with VGA out to make it
easier? Or should I pass everything through the
Ethernet port?

Thank you in advance for your assistance. It is
greatly appreciated. :-)

Best regards,

I'm not sure what would be easier.  I've never worked with Ethernet in 
an FPGA before.  I would think you could get a VGA interface working 
faster than an Ethernet interface will all the software required.  Are 
you planning to run Linux on it or will you be coding to the bare metal 
without an OS?  Will your Ethernet interface be a full custom or are you 
going to use an Ethernet module that provides a serial link to your CPU?

I found a simple Ethernet controller on fpga4fun:

    http://www.fpga4fun.com/10BASE-T.html

I plan on creating a simple buffer which receives internal pipe stage
information at each CPU clock, and then transmits that data back out in
real-time to some a port being monitored by my debugger.  This will allow
me to then constantly monitor the machine state.  I can also then encode
external source level single-step debugging, assembly tools, make even
program changes in real-time, etc., to complete the entire toolset.

I developed my own kernel and primitive OS back in the late 90s, early
00s.  I will be using a modified version of that as the ISA I'm using
is somewhat different than the actual 80386 ISA in (except in
compatibility mode, which I will probably add last).

I'm thinking I would also like to figure out and test timing on a fixed
SVGA video mode for a 1920x1080 signal at 60 Hz, and just hard-code that
video mode and use it for everything the machine does until I can later
add other modes.  And the same for a DRAM controller so I can have that
consistent and normal access to memory, Ethernet, and VGA throughout all
of my development.

I've since given this some additional thought and have decided I'll
transmit everything over Ethernet.  In this way I can create several
virtual screens and simply write to memory ranges and have them be
transmitted when possible.

Xilinx has similar capabilities.  You can desing for an arbitrary family,
then it will tell you the smalles device it will actually fit into.

I only use Xilinx, but some research SEEMS to indicate to me that
Xilinx devices may be a good deal cheaper than Altera.

All of the rest of Rick's comments are very good, and apply equally
to Xilinx.

I did try, but it wasn't usable in the limited space I had for the paper. 
Here's a larger loglog version:

VGA is pretty easy, and there should be already done examples.
You need row and column counters, and gates to generate the hsync
and vsync. Output data from display RAM, either directly or through
a character ROM.  It is FPGA outputs, through resistors, and to 
the VGA pins.

For ethernet, it is usual to put a PHY chip on board, which has
the analog circuits that you can't build on an FPGA, and interface
to that.

For RS232, the FPGA pins go to level converters to convert to the
appropriate voltages, but all the logic (UART) is in the FPGA.

The ao486 project on opencores.org contains a VGA controller along with
other controllers.  I figured I may look at those when the time comes.
However, from back in my OS driver development days, I remember learning
about timings for SVGA.  Some of the registers driving the 3dfx voodoo3
2000 video card I was using at that time had to be programmed directly
(when no driver was available).  I also remember working with the HGA
Hercules monochrome graphics adapter timings.  I can see how it all fits
together now.

I purchased a TI PHY chip today (DP83848C 10/100 model) in a pin package
that I believe will allow direct connection to the Altera dev board.  I
downloaded the protocol specs and it was very straight-forward.  I found
a better solution earlier from Silicon Labs, but I couldn't find an
inexpensive connection board that didn't require something like solder
masks ... so I went with TI's already-together product.

For point-to-point inter-LibSF-device communication I think I'll simply
invent Libernet, a simple protocol using five pins (tx-clk, tx, rx-clk,
rx, and gnd) and make the communication protocol as simple as possible.

I like the idea of Manchester coding, however, and may consider using
that as well to keep pin count down at the expense of some logic on
the sending and receiving end.

I am absolutely loving this project so far.  I think it's my all-time
favorite.

I can't seem to find it now, but someone recently posted a link to 
price/LUT vs size data in graph form.  It gets a bit crowded at the 
bottom end, but appears to show there is no real price difference 
between the two brands.  The data does include a very small number of 
other devices than X and A, but not enough to be useful.

In fact it is interesting that the prices get very crowded at the low 
end jamming up the graph.  I suggested that he present the data with a 
logarithmic Y axis or even in log-log form.  Clearly competitive market 
forces at work.

Why not just use an integrated PHY/MAC and save the trouble of rolling 
your own?  How big is the device you will need?

Please don't roll your own serial interface.  You will forever regret it 
I think.  Why add to the huge number of existing interfaces when nearly 
every need has already been met by one or the other?

There you go!  Great job.  Interesting how the members of a family are 
more evenly spaced on a log scale for size.

BTW, where did you get your pricing data?  One thing I have learned 
about FPGA pricing is that list price means nothing if you are buying 
any real quantity.  To get a design win, especially in a new family, 
they will bid very aggressively.

Because it would work in wholly replicable logic within the FPGA,
requiring nothing other than connecting up pins.

FWIW, I'm talking about slow device on-motherboard communications here,
and potentially some remote debugging communication across multi-CPUs
through a single interface.

No.  It is to become the foundation of a hardware and software stack
I am creating that has roots in the 80386 design, but has been modified
to be simpler, and has been extended out to 40-bits.

Pricing data is downloaded from Digikey.  There were 17000 prices in all, so
to compress the dataset into something meaningful I grouped all the parts of
the same number of logical elements and the same subfamily - eg Cyclone IV
GX - and took the median of the price of each group.  That gives some
measure of the middle of the range of different packages, temperatures,
speed grades etc without too many of the outliers (eg Mil Spec with crazy
prices).

Obviously in any real situation you should have coffee with the salesman and
explain how many million you're going to buy but can't afford just yet, but
there's no way to do that comparison objectively.  Digikey prices aren't
ideal, but they are an example of what you would pay if you want one FPGA
tomorrow, and don't haggle with the salesman or commit to a lead time of 26

The Altera IP for MACs is quite nice.  I used the 10G MAC recently (for the
paper I cited in my other post in fact) and it was a case of feed it a
stream of 64 bit payload words (in an Avalon stream that does the flow
control, I did this by hand in my Verilog testbench) and out pops Ethernet
frames, complete with CRC.  In this case I was using an SFP+ transceiver as
my PHY, but an external PHY chip should work equally well.  It gets a bit
trickier in the multi-speed MACs, when you have to talk to the PHY from
software, or when you want the MAC to also provide the
buffering/interrupts/software interface etc.

Having an external PHY/MAC usually means a bidirectional bus-style interface
(address, data, R/-W, clock, etc) which gets annoying at high speed.  Or
PCIe things likewise.  I don't know of any FPGAs that have integrated PHY,
though there are SFP+ Direct Attach cables which are essentially PHY-less
serial connections between MACs.  Likewise SATA, USB3, etc wiring can be so
abused.

Sometimes it can be handy if you're doing something different to their
constraints.  But at the very least keep the physical layer the same, you
can still mess with the packet structure etc.  You don't want to be
debugging the PHY without a decent high speed test infrastructure.  And
obviously this is only useful if you have control of both ends of the link.

http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~atm26/ephemeral/fpga-pricing-2014-loglog.pdf

I had data for ECP3 and Igloo 2.  Most of the others that Digikey listed are
either very small (<20K LEs), missing LE data in their table, or legacy
products (APEX, XC4000, etc).  There wasn't enough data to plot anything
reasonable from those. A graph of sub-20K devices would be interesting, but
it's a very different market.

One of the interesting things to note is the pricing margin between budget
and premium ranges: you pay 4-6x more per LE in a 'premium' family than in a
budget range.  So if you can build a system with multiple FPGAs (and we
described a way to do that in the paper, which fits some applications better
than others) then it can be economic to use smaller budget FPGAs rather than
buy the premium FPGA.

The alternative theory is that people buy budget FPGAs from Digikey, and
buying premium devices requires a long chat with a salesman, so the Digikey
list prices for those are mostly fiction that nobody pays.  However the same
trend seems to apply across all vendors.

Yes, this seems to have a PHY by TI, DP83848.  The interface lists MII, 
RMII and SNI.

One *big* advantage to using something standard is that other devices 
can talk to it, not just your designs.  If you get into a tough spot you 
can even get low cost debuggers for any of these other protocols.

I don't know of any of those other than by their names used in
various technical specs I've read over time.  If they work like
the one I'm proposing, then what's the big deal?  The protocol
I would define would include a 16-bit word for the target sub-
unit, a 16-bit word for the payload length, and then the payload.

I am a Christian.  I desire to create a hardware and software stack
from the ground up, one focused upon an offering of sharing and love,
rather than of profits, sales goals, and proprietary hardware locks.

I would also like to create the tools to produce the semiconductor
products as well, which I plan to do after I get my CPU designed.
I will design the layout and routing tools, and move toward
manufacturing.

I'm not sure what you are proposing.  Sounds more like you are 
describing a software protocol.  If you want to do your own thing fine, 
but there are times when compatibility can be useful and reinventing the 
wheel is seldom an advantage.

I'm not talking about a software debugger.  I'm talking about a debugger 
for your interface.  Call it a scope then.

The fact that it is going to be open source doesn't remove it from the 
world of markets.  What need is this satisfying?  Clearly you expect 
others to use it.  Have you made any efforts to see what others want 
from such devices?

What if you build it and nobody comes because you built something no one 
wants?

I don't understand how what I'm doing is reinventing the wheel if I
am merely hooking up a few pins and using 0s and 1s in data interchange
on a fixed clock.  It sounds like I'm applying the most fundamental
concepts of data interchange available in FPGA programming.

From my point of view, employing some proprietary communications
hardware and/or its software protocols of peculiar format, ones which
may even require the data I would pass from one unit to another be re-
formatted in some protocol-required way for transmission, and then de-
coded upon receipt, seems be the more undesirable path.

I am writing a debugger which will cover these things.  Whatever is
going on inside the FPGA will be able to be ported out through the
Ethernet into the debugger based on various register settings.  I
will write the debugger to understand the hardware it relates to,
providing even graphical images of the data communication.

From what I have seen, efforts to get the Ethernet protocol up and
running should be simple and straight-forward enough.  We'll see
though.  I'm prepared to spend as much time as it takes, posting my
code so people can help me if I'm doing something incorrectly.  I
can also always fall back on the default connections which exist on
the Altera dev board until I get it debugged.  Once it's written,
however, it will be available for all from that point forward. Any
port of the verilog code to other devices should be doable through
that TI chip.

It is not open source.  It's in the Public Domain.  I have created a
license model which indicates that our responsibilities tie back to God,
and not to our legal system, that my wishes are that the software
remains open, and that, just as God gave us this world and instructed
us on how to use it, allowing us to choose for ourselves, and warning
us of the consequences if we use it in a manner contrary to His
instruction, and how we are all accountable unto Him for how we use it,
and how we treat one another, and for everything involved with our
lives, so are we also accountable unto Him for how we honor other
people's wishes with regards to offerings which stem from Him in the
first place.

Jesus Christ gave me the knowledge and skills I possess.  I did not
garner them on my own.  I was endowed at birth with whatever abilities
I possess.  And the opportunities I've had in my life, may of which I've
flatly squandered due to my own ignorance and stupidity, still all of
these were a gift from Him unto me.  And I now acknowledge that, and I
cite that explicitly in my license.

When people take my offering and use it for other ends, they are doing
it to Him, and not just me, and, per His instruction (Revelation 22:10-12),
I will let Him take full account of all such movements.

> What if you build it and nobody comes because you built something no
> one wants?

It is a common mis-perception that Christians operate alone in this
world.  We are not alone.  God is with us, living inside of our heart,
our minds, continually.  This is true of all born again Christians.
And all such efforts given over unto God from that inner place of the
changed heart, these are all known unto God, and it is He who then
moves in this world, moving us to and fro, moving others to and fro,
drawing us from within toward His ends as per His plans and purposes
(John 3:3,6-8).

Yet, if nobody comes because I built something no one wants, then I
will, at the end of my time upon this Earth, stand before God and say,
"I spent the last N years of my life doing everything I could for You,
by name, asking for help, finding nobody to assist me, nobody to use
the offerings I created using the skills and talents You gave me, yet
I persisted because from within my heart I was doing it for You."

It is enough to live this way for the Lord.

So what is guiding your technical decisions in designing this processor? 
  For example, why 40 bits?  Isn't that going to make some features of

40-bits takes you to 1 Terabyte.  If more is needed later, the
LibSF 386-x48 can be created.

I have no particular hardware requirements except that from the ground
up it be a love offering unto the Lord.  I have a background in x86
space from before I was a Christian, and I'm taking that knowledge
forward, coupled with the things I've wanted or wished for in x86
space throughout my career.

Ultimately I desire to have a CPU, all motherboard resources, any
BIOS or firmware, the kernel, operating system, and all end-user
software, be created from the LibSF offerings, with all of it being
given unto the world without restriction, as a foundation or base
upon which to build.

I would like to be able to work with 14nm process technologies, and
create CPUs that would outperform anything that exists ... but it's
not the place the Lord has me.  I am Rick C. Hodgin from Indiana.
No riches.  No skills in such things.  I am waiting for others to
come forward and offer up those things which they have in a similar
way so that we can walk together, arm in arm, for the Lord.  I
believe very strongly that we could give unto the world as good or
better as anything else that's out there because we'd be serving
the Lord, listening to Him, doing what we do for Him, not taking
shortcuts, not being pressed for quarterly fiscal deadlines, but
rather being able to do it right because it's our best we desire
to give.

It's up to Him though.  I've been working on this project for over
28 months.  I haven't found anyone to help me yet, though several
people have been interested at various times, none of them had the
necessary C/C++ coding skills to contribute.  I've contacted
Christian universities, posted on forums, etc.  But, I am hopeful.

I'm not familiar with LibSF.  I assume you don't mean, "Libsf is a stack 
fingerprinting library" which I found on the web.

That's the part I don't understand.  Here you say you are, "listening to 
Him", but how does that turn into defining a CPU? Why/how is the CPU you 
are designing any better for "Him" or anyone else than any other CPU you 
might design?

Maybe if you find a way to express the motivation and the guiding 
principles so that others can understand.
