I want to be able to test the master of riscv-gnu-toolchain against the current
RTL as part of the buildbot. This flag takes a list of repositories (by their
submodule path) and updates those to the current master, which facilitates that
check.
This causes every command to be echo'd to stderr, and any failing
command will fail the whole script. Without this the regression
script will always pass.
It seems that the update process in the README is really out of date
(it refers to scala-2.8 and chisel-1.1). I've updated it to what I
believe to be correct, which now just consists of pulling the Chisel
submodule.
Note that I tried this myself, but when I did it I also ran an "sbt
package" in the Chisel submodule top-level directory (there's no "sbt"
directory in there any more). I believe it's not necessary to run
"sbt package", but I really know nothing about SBT...
I made a clean checkout of reference-chip yesterday and wasn't able to
build the debug emulator without first having built the non-debug
emulator. I just added a note to the README to say this.
