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.
Until recently, we were assuming that the data channel in AXI was always
right-justified. However, for narrow writes, the data must actually be
aligned within the byte lanes. This commit changes some of the
converters in order to fix this issue.
There was a bug in the L2 cache in which a merged get request was
causing the tracker to read the old data from the data array,
overwriting the updated data acquired from outer memory. Changed it so
that pending_reads is no longer set if the data in the buffer is already
valid.
There was a bug in the PortedTileLinkCrossbar. The new GrantFromSrc and
FinishToDst types used client_id for routing to managers. This caused
bits to get cut off, which meant the Finish messages could not be routed
correctly. Changed to use manager_id instead.
We are planning on switching to a TileLink interconnect throughout and
convert to AXI only on the very edge. Therefore, we need to get rid of
all the existing AXI masters other than the TileLink to AXI converter.
* Get rid of DMA engine for now
* Connect RTC to TileLink interconnect instead of AXI interconnect
* 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
In addition to the fix, there are several additions to the
RegressionTest module. The set of regressions is now parameterized and
split into ones for the cache and ones for the broadcast hub.
