it was configured for the caravel_pico SoC, with the housekeeping
SPI able to access the upper 256-word section of the memory if the
CSB bit in the housekeeping control register is cleared. This
testbench tests both access through housekeeping and access directly
from the SoC through the memory-mapped address.
architecture type passed to gcc as the value to the '-march='
option an environment variable, setting that environment variable
to "rv32imc" by default, and overriding it with "rv32ic" specifically
for the new caravel_pico without the multiplier and divider option,
on testbenches "mem" and "storage" which both have multiplies in the
C code.
knowledge and which went undetected since before MPW-one. Modified
the "pll" and "sysctrl" testbenches so that they run and measure
something useful. Both exercise the clock monitoring on GPIO
outputs functions. The PLL test also runs the digital locked
loop (behavioral verilog). The PLL test overlaps sysctrl, but
"pll" cannot be run on gate level verilog, whereas "sysctrl" can.
(input for monitoring) changed from being connected directly to the
user project (where it shouldn't be) to the same signal on the input
side of the management protect block (where it should be). This is
functionally the same. Checked for any other signals connected
directly from the user project to any block other than mgmt_protect,
didn't find any (good). Modified the gate-level netlists and top-level
layouts for caravel and caravan with the corresponding change. This
was the only change affecting layout. Also: Revised the "pll"
testbench. This is still ongoing work. Also: Fixed the way the
pins on I/O pads are declared in chip_io.v, mprj_io.v, and pads.v, so
that it isn't so bizarre. Most of this change is functionally
agnostic (just a change in the way the ifdefs work), but did fix an
incorrect ifdef that causes the whole user power domain to be broken.
which is now done through setting an environment variable to point to the
location of the management SoC wrapper. Added the missing user project
wrappers to the GL directory (copied from the original caravel repository),
and also the GL version of chip_io_alt. Modified the caravan_netlists and
caravel_netlists files to import the correct list of gate level netlists,
which has been reduced by moving "include" statements for components of the
management SoC into the management SoC repository (e.g., caravel_pico).
the change in the implementation of the serial loader, which split the load
signal out as a separate bit, and therefore had a separate bit-bang entry).
