The ROM is read in the folder defined by the user at the call of the program. By default, it is `./ROM`. The files are called `romid.rom` with `romid` the id of the ROM as indicated in the netlist file. This file, hereby named `id.rom` represents the content of the ROM, in the following fashion :
|
|
|
|
- One line of the file = one word of the ROM
|
|
|
|
- One line is a bit-word written in little-endian fashion, no more, no less. Nothing else than a string of 0s and 1s of the correct length will be accepted. Be prepared to be violently yelled at by the simulator at every teeny-weeny ever so slightly badly formatted line in the file. You've been warned.
|
|
|
|
- The file represents the first addresses of the ROM : it will fill contiguously from the start on, and the end of the file will indicate that the ROM is empty afterwards.
