A lot of utility code was just being imported willy-nilly from one
package to another. This moves the common code into util to make things
more sensible. The code moved were
* The AsyncQueue and AsyncDecoupledCrossing from junctions.
* All of the code in rocket's util.scala
* The BlackBox asynchronous reset registers from uncore.tilelink2
* The implicit definitions from uncore.util
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.
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.
Unfortunately, I had to touch a lot of code, which weren't quite possible to split up into multiple commits.
This commit gets rid of the "extra" infrastructure to add periphery devices into Top.
