Until now, the number of L1 client channels was set statically in the
configuration. This static configuration also assumed the same number of
cached and uncached channels per tile. As we plan to move towards
heterogenous multicore systems, this restriction should be removed.
This commit changes the generator so that number of channels per tile
can be independently set (using cde.Parameters.alterPartial).
The OuterMemorySystem will dynamically compute the number of cached and
uncached channels by summing the number of each kind of channel per core.
We need this to work for our chip, and it's not been tested in a long
time in upstream -- it didn't even used to build since the Nasti
conversion. This makes a few changes:
* Rather than calling the backup memory port parameters MEM_*, it calls
them MIF_* (to match the MIT* paramater objects). A new name was
necessary because the Nasti stuff is now dumped as MEM_*, which has
similar names but incompatible values.
* p(MIFDataBits) was changed back to 128, as otherwise the backup
memory port doesn't work (it only send half a TileLink transaction).
64 also causes readmemh to bail out, but changing the elf2hex parameters
works around that.
* A configuration was added that enabled the backup memory port in the
tester. While this is kind of an awkward way to do it, I want to
make sure I can start testing this regularly and this makes it easy to
integrate.
