JavaRock †

JavaRock is a high-level synthesis language, which generates HDL from Java language.
This article shows how to set up the basic working environment for JavaRock.

How to Compile a JavaRock sample on Ubuntu (12.04 32bit version) †

↑

Basic set up †

The newest compiled JavaRock is javarock_20130708.jar, and the latest sample code set of JavaRock is samples_20130707.tar,gz.
Please download them from the URL shown below.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/javarock/files/20130708/

Install Ubuntu 12.04 (32bit version) and add the package listed below.
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

↑

Compile JavaRock Samples †

Set PATH, which defines the location of javarock_20130708.jar is placed, to the environment variable of JavaRock, JAVAROCK.

$ export JAVAROCK=/home/beat/JavaRock/javarock_20130708.jar

Compile samples/pong.
Assume that the directory of samples is /home/beat/JavaRock/samples.
If comile_fpga.sh does not have the executable permission, give it, and execute it.

$ cd JavaRock/
$ ls
javarock_20130708.jar  samples  samples_20130707.tar.gz
$ export JAVAROCK=/home/beat/JavaRock/javarock_20130708.jar
$ cd samples/pong/
$ ls

$ chmod +x compile_fpga.sh
$ ./compile_fpga.sh

VHDLArrayAccess:getReadSignal: TO => net.wasamon.javarock.model.vhdl.VHDLIdent

After the compile process is completed, please check that class files and vhd file are generated.

$ ls

How to Compile JavaRock sample on Mac OS X †

JavaRock can be compiled on Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.3) if JDK7 is installed to Mac OS X.
The default Java on Mac OS X Mavericks is Java 1.6, but JavaRock cannot be compiled with Java 1.6. Java 1.7 is the requirement.
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_65"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-462-11M4609)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-462, mixed mode)

$ /usr/libexec/java_home -V

    1.6.0_65-b14-462, i386:     "Java SE 6"     /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
Download Oracle JDK from the URL below.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html
After the download of jdk-7u55-maxosx-x64.dmg is completed, the execute the file.
As the installer screen shows up, please follow its instructions to install JDK.
After the installation is completed, please check its version of JDK.
$ java -version

Compile JavaRock samples †

Confirming that JDK7 is installed, set PATH, which defines the location of javarock_20130708.jar is placed, to the environment variable of JavaRock, JAVAROCK. This is the same way as having done to Ubuntu.

$ export JAVAROCK=/home/beat/JavaRock/javarock_20130708.jar

Setting PATH to the environment variable, execute samples/test/test.sh.

$ cd ~/JavaRock/samples/test
$ ./test.sh
Compile: counter
Compile: led
Compile: SC1602Wrapper
Compile: SC1602Writer
Compile: sc1602_test
Compile: echo
Compile: rs232c
Compile: test
pass: connection
pass: bypass
pass: optimization
pass: linkage
pass: generate
VHDLArrayAccess:getReadSignal: TO => net.wasamon.javarock.model.vhdl.VHDLIdent
VHDLArrayAccess:getReadSignal: TO => net.wasamon.javarock.model.vhdl.VHDLIdent

$ ls
counter.vhd             rs232c.vhd              test.class
echo.vhd                sc1602_test.vhd         test.java
led.vhd                 sc1602writer.vhd        test.sh
rs232c.class            sim.VHD                 test.ucf
rs232c.java             test.bat                tes

If the class file and vhd file exist, this file, test.sh, is executed correctly,
If test.sh is executed without updating the version of Java, these errors will occur. The details are shown below.

$ cd ~/JavaRock/samples/test
$ ./test.sh 
An exception has occurred in the compiler ((version info not available)). Please file a bug at the JavaRock BugTracks (http://sourceforge.net/p/javarock/bugs/)  after checking the Bug Parade for duplicates.
