FlipRendering { implicit p => ... } now changes the render direction of edges.
diplomatic NodeImps can specify a default render flip using the new 'render' method.
There is a buffer on the sbus backside.
There is a buffer on the pbus frontside.
Between them is only an AtomicAutomata.
That should be enough for most designs.
* coreplex collapse: peripherals now in coreplex
* coreplex: better factoring of TLBusWrapper attachement points
* diplomacy: allow monitorless :*= and :=*
* rocket: don't connect monitors to tile tim slave ports
* rename chip package to system
* coreplex: only sbus has a splitter
* TLFragmenter: Continuing my spot battles on requires without explanatory strings
* pbus: toFixedWidthSingleBeatSlave
* tilelink: more verbose requires
* use the new system package for regression
* sbus: add more explicit FIFO attachment points
* delete leftover top-level utils
* cleanup ResetVector and RTC
Let the l2Config.coherenceManager create its own appropriate buffers.
This can matter if you need to make sure the buffer is in the right
place in the hierarchy for hierarchical place and route.
Now that PMA circuits already perform address unification, there is
no QoR gained by throwing away the true and complete diplomatic
address+node information. Defer the unification to pretty printing
the DTS address map only.
* interrupts: Less pessimistic synchronization for the different interrupt types. There are some issues with the interrupt number assignments.
* interrupts: Allow an option to NOT synchronize all the external interrupts coming into PLIC
* interrupts: ExampleRocketChipTop uses PeripheryAsyncExtInterrupts. Realized 'abstract' doesn't do what I thought in Scala.
* interrupts: use consistent async/periph/core ordering
* interrupts: Properly condition on 0 External interrupts
* interrupts: CLINT is also synchronous to periph clock
* Handle single-step with a pipeline stall, not a flush
The pipeline flush approach broke when I changed the pipeline stage
the flush happens from
* debug: Make it easier to override parts of the Default Debug Config
* Fix typo in Debug code generation
abstractGeneratedI should be abstractGeneratedS when pulling out the opcode.
This doesn't actually break anything, but fix it for clarity.
* debug: Bump OpenOCD version to one that drives resets and sets cmderr appropriately.
* debug: Export the dmactive and ndreset signals to the top level and drive reset as intended in the TestHarness.
* RocketTile: Create a wrapper for SyncRocketTile as well
There is no guarantee that debugInterrupt is synchronous
to tlClk, even though it is true in the current implementation.
It will not be true in future implementations, as decoupling
this allows the debugInterrupt to be asserted across tlClk
gating/reset scenarios.
Therefore, even for SyncRocketTile, the debug interrupt needs to be
synchronized to coreClk, and for RationalRocketTile, 1 cycle
of synchronization is not sufficient.
Even though other interrupts may be synchronized, we just
synchronize them all to simplify the code at the expense of
a few cycles latency.
It could still be nice to use a parameter vs hard coding "3".
* RocketTile: Actually use the SyncRocketTile wrapper to get properly synchronized resets.
This Xbar connects the largest components in the design; the cores
and the L2 banks. We already have a full buffer on the core side.
However, the valid path going to the L2 comes back as a ready path.
Putting a flow Q also on the outputs of the l1tol2 cuts this path
in half at no cost to IPC.
Fundamental new features:
* Added tile package: This package is intended to hold components re-usable across different types of tile. Will be the future location of TL2-RoCC accelerators and new diplomatic versions of intra-tile interfaces.
* Adopted [ModuleName]Params convention: Code base was very inconsistent about what to name case classes that provide parameters to modules. Settled on calling them [ModuleName]Params to distinguish them from config.Parameters and config.Config. So far applied mostly only to case classes defined within rocket and tile.
* Defined RocketTileParams: A nested case class containing case classes for all the components of a tile (L1 caches and core). Allows all such parameters to vary per-tile.
* Defined RocketCoreParams: All the parameters that can be varied per-core.
* Defined L1CacheParams: A trait defining the parameters common to L1 caches, made concrete in different derived case classes.
* Defined RocketTilesKey: A sequence of RocketTileParams, one for every tile to be created.
* Provided HeterogeneousDualCoreConfig: An example of making a heterogeneous chip with two cores, one big and one little.
* Changes to legacy code: ReplacementPolicy moved to package util. L1Metadata moved to package tile. Legacy L2 cache agent removed because it can no longer share the metadata array implementation with the L1. Legacy GroundTests on life support.
Additional changes that got rolled in along the way:
* rocket: Fix critical path through BTB for I$ index bits > pgIdxBits
* coreplex: tiles connected via :=*
* groundtest: updated to use TileParams
* tilelink: cache cork requirements are relaxed to allow more cacheless masters
