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).
Right now there's no way to ensure that SCR addresses don't conflict within
RocketChip. Since upstream only has one of them this isn't a big deal, but we
want to add a whole bunch more to control all the IP on Hurricane.
This patch adds some Scala code to allocate registers inside the SCR file,
ensure they don't conflict, to provide names for SCRs, attach registers to the
SCR file, and generate a C header file that contains the addresses of every SCR
on a chip.
With this patch we'll be able to get rid of that constant in the testbench.
This also allows us to kill one of the Raven diffs, which is does pretty much
the same thing (just in a second SCR file, and hacked in).
When RocketChip has a single memory configuration I want to ensure no extra
hardware is being generated by only instantiating a NastiMemoryInterconnect
rather than a NastiMemorySelector, which I believe will insert a Mux with 0
when there is only one config (because there aren't any 0-width wires allowed).
On Hurricane we want to be able to support multiple memory channels but have a
fallback to fewer, since the full configuration is going to require a
complicated FPGA setup. This adds another sort of interconnect that can switch
between having different numbers of top-level memory channels active at chip
boot time.
This interconnect is a bit funny: changing the select input when there is
memory traffic is a bad idea. This is fine for this use case, since we really
only care about changing the memory configuration at boot time -- since it'll
scramble the memory of the machine it's not so useful, anyway.
The advantage is that we don't have to have a full 8x8 Nasti crossbar in our
chip, which would be fairly expensive. Changing the crossbar would garble
memory as well, so it's not like it would add any extra functionality.
Without this it's really hard to read the IllegalArgumentException that you get
if you subclass ParamaterizedBundle and don't define a matching cloneType().
* DMA frontend-backend communication tunneled over TileLink/AXI
* Split MMIO and Mem requests in l1tol2net instead of in AXI interconnect
* Don't make NIOMSHRs configurable. Fixed at 1.
* Connect accelerator-internal CSRs into the CSR file
* Make mtvec register configurable and writeable
Since we're separating memory and MMIO traffic in the L1 to L2 network,
we won't need to route between memory and MMIO at the AXI interconnect.
This means we can have separate (and simpler) AXI interconnects for
each. One consequence of this is that the starting address of the IO
interconnect can no longer be assumed to be 0 by default.
It looks like Chisel fails when I try to run it in parallel. This adds a lock
file to ensure that only a single Chisel instance is running at a time when
running the regressions.
