This would allow, for instance, putting the coreplex on a separate clock
domain and crossing the IOs over through asynchronous queues.
The ExampleMultiClockTop* classes are removed since they no longer fit
into the class hierarchy.
We have a handful of TileLink-related helper objects
(wrappers, unwrappers, width adapters, and enqueuers). Previously, using
them could be error-prone, because you had to make sure the implicit
parameters they took in had the same TLId as the TileLinkIO bundles
passed in as inputs. This is rather silly, we should just use the
parameters in the bundle.
* rocketchip: rename identically names devices with _%d
If you connect two devices with the same name in TL2 (totally ok there),
when they get put into the TL1 addrmap, one gets silently overwritten.
This renames the second occurance as _1, third as _2, and so on...
* junctions: blow if duplicates add to addrmap
* debug: Clean up Debug TransportModule synchronizer
With async reset async queues, I feel its safe/cleaner
to remove the one-off "AsyncMailbox verilog black-box
and use the common primitive.
I also added some comments about correct usage of this
block. Probably the 'TRST' signal should be renamed
to make it less confusing, as it requires some processing
of the real JTAG 'TRST' signal.
This API makes it much more readable when you have multiple adapters
combined into a single line. The arguments for each adapter stay
beside the adapter.
For example, this:
peripheryBus.node := TLWidthWidget(TLBuffer(TLAtomicAutomata()(TLHintHandler(legacy.node))), legacy.tlDataBytes)
becomes this:
peripheryBus.node := TLWidthWidget(legacy.tlDataBytes)(TLBuffer()(TLAtomicAutomata()(TLHintHandler()(legacy.node))))
A chip's power-up sequence, or awake-from-sleep sequence, may wish to
set the reset PC based upon dynamic properties, e.g., the settings of
external pins. Support this by passing the reset vector to the Coreplex.
ExampleTop simply hard-wires the reset vector, as was the case before.
Additionally, allow MTVEC to *not* be reset. In most cases, including
riscv-tests, pk, and bbl, overriding MTVEC is one of the first things
that the boot sequence does. So the reset value is superfluous.
