- adds a mutable singleton (PlusArgArtefacts) to store information
about Rocket PlusArgs
- adds methods to PlusArgArtefacts to emit C snippets that are
consumed by emulator.cc for correct argument parsing and help text
generation
- emits snippets in $(CONFIG).plusArgs via BaseCoreplex-set
ElaborationArtefacts
- modify emulator/Makefrag-verilator to include $(CONFIG).plusArgs
- cleanup help text (docstring) for existing PlusArgs

* Originally verilator will generate a large cpp file containing a large
function, which costs about 13 min to compile. By using --output-split-cfuncs,
this large function will be splitted into several functions in servral
files. This will greatly improve the compile time with 'make -j'. By '-j32',
the compile time can be reduced to about 1 min.
VCS is not free. Neither is the vcd format.
Fortunately, verilator and gtkwave ARE free ... and faster too.
This patch adds targets:
run-regression-tests-fst
run-asm-tests-fst
... which create opensource-compatible fst waveforms for gtkwave.
This is an unavoidably invasive commit, because it affects the unit tests
(which formerly exited using stop()), the test harness Verilog generator
(since it is no longer necessary), and the DRAM model (since it is no
longer connected). However, this should substantially reduce the effort
of building test harnesses in the future, since manual or semi-automatic
Verilog writing should no longer be necessary. Furthermore, there is now
very little duplication of effort between the Verilator and VCS test
harnesses.
This commit removes support for DRAMsim, which is a bit of an unfortunate
consequence. The main blocker is the lack of Verilog parameterization for
BlackBox. It would be straightforward to revive DRAMsim once support for
that feature is added to Chisel and FIRRTL. But that might not even be
necessary, as we move towards synthesizable DRAM models and FAME-1
transformations.
If you have multi-target rules that don't have %s in them, make
interprets that as "run this recipe multiple times, once to produce each
target". If you have %s in the rules, then make interprets it as "run
this recipe once to produce all targets". We want the second one.
This uses the new SCRFile changes to generate a header file containing a list
of all the SCRs in a core to remove the magic constant "63" (the HTIF clock
divider control register) and replace it with a generated number (which is
still 63).
